If you have been following me for awhile now, you know that my son LOVES to build and create. Mostly he loves Lego's, but anything he can create and build with is right up his alley. He asked if I would help him build a robot. So we looked in our supply of recyclables for what he thought he might need. This is what he chose;
- plastic lids
- tin cans of various sizes
- plastic bottles
- cardboard tubes
We got out the glue gun and began construction. He began to get frustrated when his robot would not stand up (it was top heavy). I suggested we add something heavier to the bottom of it. He thought about it for a minute and then ran outside to get a couple rocks. He stuck these in the bottom cans. He then named him Rock Robot and wrote that on the arms.
I just smile looking at these cute robots.
My kids worked so hard and did all their own construction and hot gluing. It took a lot of problem solving and truly enjoyed watching them come up with their solutions.
These were so fun to create. I highly suggest you give it a try.
