How to... Make a Robot!

Here we go! Be prepared for craziness!

You will need:

• A big box (rectangular is best for the body) 
• A small box (for the head)
• 5 toilet rolls or 3 kitchen rolls (just the tubes not the paper)
• Grey paint
• A thick black pen
• 2 big googly eyes
• Some brightly coloured wrapping paper
• Cutter
• Tissue paper or something that can be used for hair
• Glue

Step 1: Put the boxes together with cello tape (if they have been taken apart).

Step 2: At your own risk paint the box for the head with grey paint, this can get rather messy, be prepared! Or you can wrap it in brown parcel paper, if the box has writing on it.

Step 3: Once this has dried, make a hole for one of the tubes with the cutter in the top of the body and under the head (for a 'trachea') this will hold the boxes together.

Step 4: Use the wrapping paper to cover the body and make 'a dress' or preferred items of clothing.


Step 5: Join two toilet rolls together or with one kitchen roll cello tape the rolls onto the sides of the body for the arms. You can wrap them in the wrapping paper first, if you want 'a long sleeve dress'.

Step 6: Stick the googly eyes onto the head, draw a nose and a mouth or use other materials to stick on.

Step 7: Using glue or cello tape, stick on ripped up tissue paper onto the head or whatever other materials you are using (wool may work well too).

Finally, you should have your robot and depending how many classes you have, a whole family!

P.S You can also make a jewelled crown which we are working on today!

I will post another photo when we have crowned the Queen and Princesses!
