  • Step 2Paint your box orange and lid yellow. Allow to dry.
  • Step 3Cut 2 strips of orange card and concertina fold to create arms. Cut two claws from yellow card and glue to the ends of the arms. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4Attach the arms to your robot’s body with glue. Allow to dry.
  • Step 5To create the antenna cut a 3cm length of chenille stem. Hot glue your antenna standing on top of the lid. Alternatively you could poke a hole in the lid and poke your antenna through.

  • Step 7Glue two wiggle eyes to the front lip of the lid.
  • Step 8Add detail to your robot with a marker.
