Creative Craft Stick Robot Craft

Robots are a classic, fun kids craft! We’ve enjoyed making them with newspaper recently and last year we had fun making sponge painted robots. This week we put our creative minds to work and designed robots out of craft sticks. Oh my, it was sooo much fun! By the time we were finished with our craft stick robot craft, my daughter and I had each made three. It’s hard to resist making more than one because seriously, they are so much fun!
