Who this list is for
This cardboard robot mask craft is for 8-year-olds making one lightweight costume mask from cereal box panels, foil, foam, and bottle caps. An adult should cut eye openings and confirm that vision is clear.
How to use this list
Start with the adult-prepared mask template on thin cardboard cereal box panels. An adult should make the eye openings before decorating begins. Cover areas with aluminum foil and self-adhesive foam sheets, then add plastic bottle caps and pipe cleaners with washable tacky glue or clear tape. Use washable markers for robot details. Punch side holes with the hole punch and attach the elastic cord only after the mask shape and visibility have been checked.
Common mistakes
Do not let decorations cover the eye openings or hang across the face. Avoid making a heavy mask with too many bottle caps or large glue blobs. Children should not cut eye holes themselves. Stop using the mask if it blocks vision, slips over the eyes, or feels uncomfortable.
