Springtime is the land awakening! The March winds are the morning yawn. -Lewis Grizzard
Celebrate spring by creating a bright colorful, robot puppet with your kids! Then in the afternoon, take the robot puppet outside and put on a puppet show!
Robot Puppet
Supplies:
Scissors, Glue, Markers or Oil Pastels and Water Color
Dowel or Carboard Tube “(we used the white tubes around wire hangers which you can score for free from most dry cleaners)”
Brads, Cardboard, Duct Tape
Fun Options: Gems, Buttons, Tissue Paper, Scrapbook Paper
“Choose a shape for the head” or “cut a 5×5 square.”
Use oil pastels to decorate the head and paint watercolors over for an awesome effect. Then glue the fun options from gems to scrapbook paper for added detail.
Follow all the steps for the body, arms and legs that you did for the head.
Glue the head to the body. Use a hole puncher or toothpick to punch holes where the arms and legs need to connect to the body. Then add a brad to connect each piece- the robot can now move and groove!
Take the dowel or cardboard tube and duct tape it to the back.
Create a fun puppet show with your creative, colorful, spectacular Robot!
