Meet the Recycled Robot Soup Cans! I have only completed 6 of them but there are SO many possibilities! These unique guys held the party favors at my son’s robot birthday party but you can add circuits
They are simply soup cans which have been cleaned out. I then searched the garage for random pieces of “junk” to glue on the can including but not limited to bolts, washers, furniture pads, pieces of a light bulb, soda caps, paper clips, and other random items I found. Below are some ideas of things you can add to your tinker crate area of your maker stations!
Tinker Station Loose Parts Ideas:
- Bottle Caps
- Nuts / Washers
- Springs
- Wire connector caps
- Grommets
- Magnets
- Wires
Other Fun Craft Parts Ideas:
- Googly Eyes
- Hot Glue
- Solder Equipment
- Pom Pom Balls
- Pieces of Dowel Rods
- Cork
- LEGO Bricks
- Paint Markers
