Recycle Everyday Objects

Great craft for a school lesson plan, girl scouts, boy scouts or home project,

Make the Robot:

You can save everything from Coffee and Tuna Cans, to small boxes and Popsicle sticks to make these recycled objects.

Many materials will work. Think bottle tops of many kinds, bottle holders, bag ties, straws, you name it. Basically use what you have and see what you come up with!

• Corks
• Yogurt Containers
• Paper tubes
• Various Plastic Lids
• White Paper( to draw on)
• Plastic handles from juice bottles
• beads
• Popsicle sticks
• All purpose glue and/or Glue Gun
• Your imagination

Directions: We used Elmer's Glitter Glue for this project

• Start with the largest container for the body
• We removed the labels (You can also cover them with papers)
• Add Various items to create a the face, arms, legs and knobs
• Paint and Draw on them if you wish!
• Let it dry!
• Done!

Notes:

• You can paint or draw on it, too (see the second robot to the left)
• Make sure the can has NO Sharp edges!
• When gluing let things dry carefully
• For things that are hard to glue use a glue gun when possible
