Trace the Robot
Next he traced the magnatiles to create the robot outline. You may have to help little hands hold the tiles still while they trace.
Add Details to Your Robot Art Project
After your child has an outline, it’s time to get creative! Add buttons, a face, tool arms, or anything else he can imagine for the robot.
We used crayons, but you could take it up a notch and add 3D objects! Buttons, tin foil, or pipe cleaners would be amazing additions.
