oms, that I stuck to the back of the DIY robot. Just cut out four lines of the chalkboard sticker and stick the metal board to the back.
- That's it!
- To turn it into a lamp, just put inside a small LED flashlight like this one.
- If you want to change the eye color of the robot and respectively the lamp color, just use caps of other colors.
OUR PLAY WITH THE DIY ROBOT
Well, this is our robot Nr. 3. The first ones survived around 5-6 months before their cardboard shell gave up after several surgeries. Playing and practice with the robot is different depending on the age of the child.
In the first days of its life, our 3rd robot was very hungry. Aiden fed him constantly throughout the day. Note, that this robot eats not only with its mouth but also with its eyes and antenna.
Thus far, our robot ate so many cars, straws, pencils, crayons, pompons, cookies, and many other small objects, that every day, he needed surgery to get those out. One by one, with the precision of a surgeon, Aiden took all small objects through its mouth or eyes.
Additionally, besides feeding and drawing, the pompoms magnetic board is a highlight.
Summarizing, our robot had some serious makeovers, ate a lot and turned from time to time into a lamp.
As you can see, it is one really versatile fine motor activity box, that’s easy to make and costs nothing but 15 minutes of your time.
