Recycling Project: Robot Chimes

Looking for robot activities for kids? This project is one of our favorites! Recycle tin cans by engineering your own unique robot chimes perfect for windy days.

Supplies:  cans, pipe cleaners, paint, twine, scissors, metal primer, hammer, nail/screwdriver, beads and any other decoration for hair, etc.
Robot Windchimes
Step 1:  Take all the labels off the cans and spray them with metal primer.  Once dry this allows the paint to adhere to the cans.

Step 2:  Poke or drill holes into the cans for arms, legs, and to attach the body.  Get creative and make all different sizes and shapes for your robots!

Step 3:  Assemble the robot body by using twine and knotting it to keep the head and body separate.  Then poke pipe cleaners through holes for the arms and legs.

Step 4:  Add beads, buttons, or anything fun to the pipe cleaners to add dimension to the arms and legs.
