1 large sheet card
Cardboard
Aluminium foil
2 bendy drinking straws
Selection of metal nuts, bolts, washers and cogs
Strong glue
Scissors
Starting materials ready to go
Method
Cut a large rectangle for the robot body and a smaller square for the robot head. Cut two small rectangles for legs
Robot components cut and ready to wrap with foil
Wrap the robot components in aluminium foil, like you would wrap a present.
Body ready to decorate
Stick cogs, washers, metal nuts etc onto the body of the robot with strong glue. We also stuck on some rectangles of bubble wrap and some pieces of silver pipe cleaner.
Use any old small metal junk you can find to decorate your robot
Stick two metal washers on to the head for eyes. We found an old 13Amp fuse and glued this on for a mouth
The old fuse made a good robot mouth
When dry, glue the head, body and legs onto the front of the card
Cut the drinking straws down to a suitable arm size with the bendy sections as elbows and glue on to the card
