Recycle Mashup

Our Story

Recycle Mashup started with a simple observation: kids already turn everyday objects into toys and projects. Cardboard becomes a fort. A cereal box becomes a robot costume. We wanted to give that instinct a real material to work with — one that comes straight from the recycling bin.

The Recycle Masher Dough Machine mashes recycled paper into a smooth, colorable dough, so kids ages 6 to 11 can shape something new out of something that was about to be thrown away. It's arts and crafts with a second purpose built in.

What we build around

Creativity first

Every kit is open-ended. There is no single "right" thing to mash, mold, or mix — kids decide what their dough becomes.

Sustainability by design

The raw material is paper that was already headed for the recycling bin. Less waste in, more creativity out.

Real confidence

The included sale boxes turn a craft project into a first small business — kids get to make something and share it.
