Anyone that knows me know that I am all about making recycled crafts. I save all my toilet paper tubes, paper towel tubes, empty cans, yogurt containers, plastic lids, snack boxes, and the list goes on. So I dove into my recycling stash to come up with this quirky cereal box robot you can make with the kids!

Recycled Crafts: Robot from a Cereal Box
This robot is made from various recycled items. There's of course the cereal box, but also empty vegetable cans, a paper towel tube and quite a few lids I ™ve been saving. Use whatever stash you have to make your recycled robot!

- To give the robot's body some weight, first you ™ll want to put something inside the cereal box. I used an old sweatshirt. An old towel, a bag of dried beans, lots of wadded up newspaper, anything like that will work.
- Wrap the cereal box in aluminum foil and use tape to secure.
- Use a craft knife to carve holes in the side of the box for the arms.
- Cut the paper towel tube in half and wrap both halves in aluminum foil.
- Insert the tubes into the sides of the cereal box.

- Wrap each of the cans in aluminum foil.
- Use various lids to decorate the front of the cereal box.
- Glue lids onto the large can for eyes; then glue bottle caps to the lids for the pupils.
- Glue a metal nut on as the nose.

- Draw several lines onto white paper, then draw a single line through those lines. Use scissors to cut mouth from the lined paper and tape to the tin can.
- Wrap silver pipe cleaner around a pencil, then glue inside the large can.
- Glue the head and legs to the cereal box to complete your robot.
