Who this list is for
This recycled robot craft supply list is for a class of children making display-only robots from cleaned household-style materials. It is designed for creative building with boxes, tubes, cups, caps, and paper-based decorations.
How to use this list
Before the activity, wash and dry the small cardboard boxes, plastic bottle caps, yogurt cups, cardboard tubes, and egg cartons. Set each table with washable school glue, glue sticks, child-safe scissors, cardstock sheets, washable markers, pipe cleaners, wiggle eyes, and aluminum foil. Children can build a robot body first, then add arms, eyes, controls, and a name label.
Common mistakes
Do not bring sharp-edged cans into this craft. The list is built around safer items such as cardboard, clean plastic caps, yogurt cups, and egg cartons. Avoid gluing every part at once; heavier pieces need a stable base and time to hold. Keep the robots display-only rather than treating them as toys after they are finished.
What is on this list
Gather 30 clean small cardboard boxes, 100 clean plastic bottle caps, 30 cardboard tubes, 30 clean yogurt cups, and 10 egg cartons. The list also includes 20 bottles of washable school glue, 30 glue sticks, 100 wiggle eyes, 100 pipe cleaners, one roll of aluminum foil, 50 cardstock sheets, markers, scissors, and name labels. Cross off what your class already owns.
When you are done
Write each child’s name on a label and attach it to the robot or its display space. Leave robots on a flat surface until glue has set. Sort clean unused caps, tubes, boxes, and craft materials into separate containers for the next recycled-art project.
