Graduation season is upon us, and if you're looking for a way to keep your kids busy this summer while school is out, consider some maker tools! From Cricut machines to 3D printers, these tools are fun and educational, and getting involved in maker activities is a great creative outlet for everyone.

Father's Day is also coming up, and a new drill or a soldering station might just hit the spot for maker-minded dads. We also found some terrific savings on board and card games if tinkering's not your style. Have a look below!
