This is my favorite project of the school year! Each robot has a name, function, and price. I love that each one is so unique.


First, each student completed an idea worksheet to plan out what their robot would look like and how it would function. How will it help people? 

Next, they cut light-weight cardboard into different shapes to form the robot.

Then, the robot was painted with tempera paints.

Finally, the robot was packaged as a toy. Each toy is labeled with a name, function, and price.










 We were super excited to have a Robot Toy Store in the Principal's Office!

  5. These are wonderful! LOVE love love it. I can't wait to do it with my students. You mentioned light weight cardboard - did you use regular boxes or purchase it somewhere so that it was easier for the kids to cut? Thanks for the inventive idea!
