My son and I have been raiding the recycling bin to collect materials for robots! This is such an easy and fun project that provides endless ways to use your imagination. Just grab a glue gun and some recyclable materials and go!
I won't give a step-by-step here, because it's really up to you and the kiddos to figure out how to make each robot, but I will give you a list of some good materials to use!
Materials:
Glue Gun with Glue Sticks (this doesn't stick ultra well- maybe use super glue or epoxy if you want these to stay permanently)
Tin cans
small cardboard boxes
toilet paper tubes
plastic containers- from yogurt, sour cream, etc.
milk caps
lids from frozen juice concentrate
buttons
wire
egg cartons
pom poms
yarn
googly eyes
I love 'em. I have a box of 'junque' in my basement for just that purpose.
