When I was little I was always allowed to open two gifts on Christmas Eve. One was always pajamas, the other was always something to keep me busy until the morning — usually some sort of craft project. The Calabot Do-it-Yourself Robot kit is sure to inspire creativity. Made from recycled cardboard that is pre-cut and pre-punched, the robot does not require scissors or glue for assembly. The 2.5 foot robot fits together with a slot and groove system. He comes with a built in backpack and pockets in the front, perfect for transporting little toys. After he’s put together, raid the recycle bin or look for items around the house that aren’t being used like old CDs, foil, springs, disposable cups and more to decorate your robot. You can use paint or markers, glitter glue, rhinestones or anything else the little creator desires. The fully assembled robot measures approximately 21″ x 16″ x 9″. A perfect project for kids ages 5 and up, the Calabot Do-it-Yourself from Calafant retails for around $29.99 at Amazon.com and www.CreativeToyShop.com.
This is a really cool little kit. The only problem I have with it is that it isn’t really little. At 2.5 feet, this is a pretty large toy that takes up a lot of space in the playroom. That being said, it’s size leaves a lot of room to express your creativity! One of the best parts is the backpack so that the robot can carry around whatever he needs (a handful of legos, a matchbox car or a farm animal figurine — hey, you never know when you might need one of those!)
