Transform your child into an awesome robot without breaking the bank! Here’s how to create a robot costume they’ll love:
• Start with two cardboard boxes of different sizes, one for the body and one for the head.
• Measure your child’s head and cut a hole at the top of the larger box for a comfortable fit.
• Add arm holes near the top of the box and cut out the bottom, allowing the costume to slip on easily.
• Now, the real fun begins – cover both boxes entirely with shiny duct tape, giving your robot that metallic look. ( I used two rolls from the Dollar Tree)
• Elevate the coolness factor by adding a cardboard panel covered in duct tape and hot glue it to the front of the robot.
• Get creative by using plastic lids or colorful duct tape to craft fun buttons and dials.
• If you want extra stability, secure the costume on your child with elastic straps inside the larger box.
• And there you have it! Your child is now ready to shine as a robot for under $5 worth of duct tape. Get ready for some robotic adventures!
