Toy Robot for Design and Extended Play

Once made, this little guy can give your kid hours of fun role playing and making up space themed games.

It can be tempting as a parent to jump in at this stage to help with the composition, but planning design is an important step for younger kids, so get them to take the lead as much as they are willing to, even if it does mean the robot's legs seem off-kilter.
