Have you ever wanted to be larger than life? So have we! And we think the best way to do this is as a robot. Sourcing materials around you is easier than ever anticipated in this climate of consumption and should you need any larger boxes than you can find in your home, a trip down to your local supermarket will fix all your problems!
A fabulous maker in Spain that goes by the name of Monsieur Voyage created a robot costume at the beach with his kids using makedo and we want you to have as much fun as they did (which is quite a bit).
What you need? Two large boxes Three medium boxes makedo Freeplay Kit
Step 1: Connect the two large boxes together for the body
Step 2: Cut up medium box to add some robot embellishments
Step 3: Attach a medium box to the body and cut out circles for eyes to fit in rolled up, cut cardboard scraps.
Step 4: Use a medium box to create triangular legs and cut out holes in the body for arms to go through. From a medium box, use flat pieces of cardboard with decorative holes cut out to give shape and added embellishment to the robot.
Step 5: Play!
