If you want to stick the cogs printable so that it looks like its inside the head cut out a square and fix this with a hinge made of boarder roll back to the head, stick the cogs inside so that you see them when you open the flap.
How to Make



- Choose a box big enough to wear and a smaller box for the head.
- Drawing around a dinner plate cut out a hole in the top for the head and hole for each arm.
- Stick wiggle eyes in each corner and along the edges to act as rivets.
- Paint the body and the head in silver paint painting over the wiggle eyes and let dry (give a second coat if needed)
- Once dry cut a rectangle for the mouth and add boarder roll teeth.
- Using half of a circle that u cut out from the arm holes we are going to make a dial, cut the foam into 6 sections to fit on the semi-circle and outline them.
- Stick on or write numbers 1-6, cut an arrow out of black foam, and leave the back on, poke a hole in this to add a split pin so that it can rotate on the dial.
- Now time to decorate your robot with the dial you just made and other buttons/ wires etc.
- To create wires twist pipe cleaners around a pencil then poke them into the box.
- For buttons you can use bottle top or cut out circles of foam.
- For the display cut out half a sheet of holographic card and thread pipe cleaners through it.
- Print off the printable and stick on the parts wherever you like.
- Stick on the eyes and create a long spiral of pipe cleaners for to go on top of the robot’s head, you can fix this with wooden craft sticks to each side of the head.
