JUMPING JACK ROBOTS
Once in a while a craft project comes along that is a winner every time, for us this is it. Everyone loves making puppets, add robots into the mix and it's a home run. Whenever we have made these at home the kids love it. The best part about this project is that there is no right or wrong way to make a robot. In fact, the more crazy the better!
MATERIALS:
- Cardboard
- Split pins
- Paints, crayons or pens to decorate
- White paper
- Craft glue
- String
- Scissors
HOW TO:
Begin by cutting body, arm, leg and head shapes from the cardboard, then decorate your robot body parts. We used white paper to make the robot eyes, mouths and control panels and glued them on.
Punch holes in your robot arms, legs and body, then attached with split pins. Attach strings at the back to make your robot arms and legs jump up and down.

+About Us
Mini Mad Things is created by Mum, designer and craft enthusiast,Eleanor Ford.If I had to introduce myself in one word, I would say I am a maker.I grew up in a house where we made things. We learnt to sew and to knit; to saw, hammer and build. My Mum baked bread every day and we grew vegetables. We learnt to fix broken things. We were resourceful. All of these skills made me who I am and ignited my love for craft. This passion for making is something I would like to pass on to my children and to others; it is the reason for creatingMINI MAD THINGS.As well as creating all the fun kids craft project ideas here on our blog, we also sell a range of CRAFT BOXES, BOOKS and ECO ART SUPPLIES.
