Robots

The kids had such fun building  their robots today. 

I love to watch their creativity as they glue all 

sorts of odds and ends onto the robot. I started out

with some cardboard squares. I am a craft hoarder so 

I had pieces of light weight cardboard in my craft cupboard.

You can always just cut cereal boxes, or use poster board.

 I then cut toilet paper rolls in half for the body and cut  a smaller piece

for the head. (Cut them in half long ways). I covered them in foil

 and used the hot glue gun to attach them securely to the cardboard.

For this project we used tacky glue. Its a thick glue that holds

better than white glue. I gave the kids little cups of glue with a q-tip.

I then set out  cut up colored craft sticks,  cut up straws, small washers, 

nuts, bolts, buttons, and beads. The kids had such fun 

 with this craft, they even gave their robots names!
