- Illustration board
- Small boxes (or use our printable template)
Tools

Instructions
- Cut a rectangular shape of orange colored paper.
- Then make a small rectangular box out of that piece of paper.
- Next, using the printable template create two box shapes from white paper or cardstock, one larger and one smaller.
- Attach the two boxes; small one for the head and big one for the body of the robot. The orange box paper will be in between as the neck of the robot.
- Cut another rectangular or square shape of orange papers. Then make a rectangular box out of the orange papers again.
- Attach the three orange boxes at the upper part of the head and sides of the white box using glue.
- Cut a square or rectangular shape of yellow paper. Then make a rectangular box out of the yellow paper again.
- Assemble the yellow box at the eye part of the robot
- Make another rectangular shape of yellow and orange papers. Make sure that orange papers are bigger than the yellow ones.
- Next is to make the cut-out yellow papers into boxes. While for orange papers, roll them over.
- Insert the small yellow boxes on the rolled orange papers. Do it on both edges. Then attach them on both sides of the bigger white box or the robot’s body.
- Cut a small rectangular shape of the illustration board then make it as a box figure.
- This will be where you add your design on to the front of the robot. We used the letter R for robot but kids can use their creativity here.
- Lastly, attach the feet part of the robot using a hot glue gun to attach it more securely.
- And there you have your incredible robot!
When crafting, always prioritize safety. Use scissors with care, especially around young children.
Picking the right materials can make all the difference in achieving the robot look you want.
Encourage kids to unleash their imagination. This is a great way for them to express themselves creatively.
