Kid Craft: Recycled Robot!

Today, I have a quick little craft courtesy of my 6 year old.

The Oldest Diva had to come up with a recycled art project for school.

After a few idea changes, she settled on a robot.

Of course it wasn't just any robot,

it had to be a life sized robot!

That's my girl!

She brainstormed what she wanted it to look like -

she had a very specific artistic vision from the beginning.

It was my job to commander the pieces she needed.

We gathered our supplies:

cardboard boxes

cereal boxes

bottle caps

paper towel rolls

silver paint

hot glue

& called upon friends and family to save their trash.

Then, the Oldest Diva got to work

(with a bit of painting help from her little sister).

I helped with the hot gluing 

& I have my fingers crossed it stays together! 

The completed robot is adorable.

He looks so happy!

The Oldest Diva is super excited to take her robot into school.

She is so proud of her creation that she requested 

her robot have a place on the blog.

This mama is more than happy to oblige.

Didn't she do a fabulous job?

Great robot book for kids:
