Robots Ready - R R R

Image
Robots are Ready - Rrr Rrr Rrr. Here is a robot we built - record a robot voice on your mobile phone and drop it into the robot's head to hear it speak back to you. Kids will love it. Try speaking into a fan during summer and you'll get a robotic voice - our daughter found this out for herself.  A smaller version of the robot Love robot? Only used sellotape to bolt it together Simple to build using seven innocent smoothies boxes for legs, a big box for the body. Two tissue boxes with some yoghurt pots on the end. A box on top with eyes made from bottom of squash bottles with glued tin foil on the inside. Just use a bit of sticky tape and slots in the box to add the arms.

Is it a car? Is it plane? No it's just a box!

Time to build a car. Get a box, cut out a steering wheel with some buttons and drop a chair in it. Job done.  Then convert it into an airplane. Cut the wings and add a tail. 

Draw on everything ...

Time to draw on everything and anything. The wall between the front room and living room was being knocked down, so time to draw ... My Little Ponies - a test draw on a wall to be knocked down Here we have taken a tabletop and created a game on the top, the bottom is flat as well so turn the table over to make it a normal (boring) table for everyday use. Players are my daughters favorite ones! Counters are coins with numbers stuck to them - have to add values up to work out number of moves (includes a bit of maths into the game). Create a game on top of a table top Monsters University  is a favorite of our daughters. Plus Tinkerbell in Disney movies. So why not draw them when you can? Monster's University Monster's University drawn on the child's gate used to lock Buster the dog in the kitchen.  Chalk pictures on the wall  - say hello to Tinkerbell Tinkerbell chalked onto the side of the house.
