Build A Robot Craft (Awesome Printable)

build a robot craft printable robot templates - cut and paste for preschool and kindergarten

I…Am…A…Robot! All kids love robots, right? Am I Right? Well some do anyway – I know I did (and still do I suppose). Well in case yours does, here’s a build a robot template they can use to make their very own cute lil’ robot at home.

It’s an easy craft in which your little learners will need to cut out and correctly put together the pieces to make a sweet robot.

This robot template is great for toddlers and preschoolers to use because it’s so simple for them to put together!

And there’s a color and a plain template – so your little ones can create and customize their own amazing robots!

It could also make a lovely activity for anyone having a robot themed party!

Here’s some more simple crafts you may want to check out, if you get a few your little ones can mix and match – who knows what they’ll create!

I’ve created quite a lot more characters and animals and will be uploading them when I can – so be sure to check back regularly.

What Skills Can Your Children Learn And Practice?

When using this build a robot template, your children will have the chance to practice and develop some skills such as:

  • Cutting Skills – if you feel they’re ready, you can let them have a go at cutting out the pieces all by themselves – they’ll need to be careful and have good scissor control if they want to cut out the pieces neatly
  • Fine Motor Skills – when they’re sticking and picking up and moving the parts and placing them where they need to go
  • Body Knowledge – I know we’re not made of metal but most of the parts are the same – what, you’re telling me you don’t have an antenna?
  • Pencil Control – if you print off the black and white version they can practice their pencil control and develop hand strength through coloring.

This simple robot craft will also give them a chance to practice their concentration and perseverance skills as they may find it tricky to place the pieces exactly where they want them to go.

Other materials you’ll need:

  • Safety scissors
  • Card Stock or Craft Paper
  • Some Good Glue
  • Some coloring pencils or pens

Once you’ve downloaded the templates, you’ll need to print them off onto paper or card.

Then, you can cut them out. Or if you’d like your children to get some cutting practice, you can let them have a go.

Then you can stick all the pieces together to build your robot.

It can be really nice to let you’re kids have a bit of free rein here and see if they can work it out – kind of like a puzzle.

If they’re struggling, the order I’d do it in is:

  1. Stick the helmet on the head
  2. Stick the head on the body
  3. Stick the arms on the body
  4. Stick the feet on the body

(I expect you could have worked that out but I do like to be thorough…)

The finished one should look something like this:

If you want to you could always laminate the pieces before sticking them together and use them as a puzzle. That way the different parts would be kept nice and they can use them again and again.

I’ve also created even more cute characters which I will be releasing in the coming weeks so they could use them together in a mix and match game as well (if you don’t want to miss them you can turn on notifications by clicking on the bell in the bottom right corner).

I’ve also made a black and white version which would be an awesome way for your little ones to practice their coloring skills and personalize their robots in their own way!

So why not crack out the pens, crayons, paints or collage (or all of them if you’re feeling adventurous) and let your kids get creative!

I’d love to see what they create!
