Recyclobot

Another idea from FamilyFun Magazine. Jr. wanted to make a "recyclobot" from the December/January 2011 issue. The idea is to take leftover packaging from Christmas gifts and challenge the family to create robots out of it. Well, we didn't keep our Christmas packaging until June (thank goodness), but we have been collecting a few items for craft projects

and this is what the kids came up with:

I only helped with cutting and connecting things. The kids decided which materials to use and where everything should go.
It's amazing to see what different ideas they come up with when given the same pile of objects to work from. Creativity is an awesome thing.
If you can't see, Jr.'s has three arms (and hands) and four legs. Nichole's has the standard two arms and two legs (and Angelina Ballerina stickers all over it).
