Felt shape robots - Cut
basic shapes out of felt.
Children can assemble
their own robots using
these felt shapes (on a felt
board or a larger piece of
felt). (TF)
Nuts and bolts patterns -
Use nuts, bolts, and any
other “robot parts” you
have on-hand (like
washers or toy gears). Ex-
plore different kinds of pat-
terns (AB, ABC, ABB, etc.).
Robot shape creations -
Cut basic shapes out of
construction paper. Have
kids create a robot out of
the shapes. Count how
many of each shape they
used. (TF)
Weigh nuts and bolts - Use
a scale to weigh varying
amounts of nuts and bolts.
Count and make observa-
tions each time.
Robots
LESSON ACTIVITIES - EXPLANATION
Science Robot maker space - Give
kids cardboard boxes and
collage materials and let
them create their own ro-
bots.
Tin can robots - Use tin
cans, magnets, and craft
materials to create tin can
robots. Extend this by using
the magnets to determine
other items that are mag-
netic.
Explore simple circuits -
Delve into basic electricity
with this activity. If the ma-
terials aren’t available to
you, create a list of items
that use electricity.
Balancing robot - Use the
printable robot to explore
balancing.
Robot body puzzle - Build
the robot puzzle, discuss-
ing different body parts.
Compare to the human
body.
Literacy Robot rhymes - Make a
robot out of a cardboard
box. Feed the robot ob-
jects that rhyme.
Beginning sounds - Use the
cardboard box robot from
the other day. Feed the
robot objects that start
with the /r/ sound.
Robot story writing - Work
together to create a story
about a robot with a spe-
cial talent.
Emergent reader - Make
an easy reader about col-
orful robots. Choose
whichever printable
reader suits the child best.
Robot family book - Make
each member of your
family into a robot. Write
“(Name) is a robot.” Add a
picture of each person’s
face to the robot. Com-
bine the pages to make a
book.
Other Giant cardboard robot -
Make a giant robot out of
large cardboard boxes
and decorate as a collab-
orative project throughout
the week.
Painting with gears - Use
toy or real gears for pro-
cess art. This can also be
done with nuts and bolts. (TF)
Robot vests - Use recycla-
bles to create homemade
robot vests.
Discovery bottle robot -
Make an interactive senso-
ry bottle all about robots.
Add letters or numbers to
the nuts/bolts as desired.
Robot play dough
invitation - Make silver play
dough and place it on a
tray. Add loose parts (like
nuts, bolts, washers, metal-
lic pipe cleaners, etc.) kids
can use to make robots
out of play dough.
(TF) - Toddler-friendly ideas that would work when home with children of different ages.

INDEPENDENT ACTIVITIES
These activities would work well as centers or work boxes during free play time. They’re
meant to allow children the chance to play, explore, and practice preschool skills on their
own. Children may still need some assistance at times, of course. They’re broken down by
subject area for reference. (TF) =Toddler-Friendly
Math
Number cards - Place robot num-
ber cards on a tray. Children can
put them in numerical order,
count them, sort them, etc. Add
nuts and bolts to explore one-to-
one correspondence.
Nuts and bolts numbers - Add
numbers to nuts and bolts. Chil-
dren can match and sort.
Sorting and matching nuts and
bolts - Sort nuts and bolts by type
and size. Order from largest to
smallest.
Literacy
Robot letter cards - Children can
put the cards in alphabetical or-
der, match the letters, or make
words.
Alphabet nuts and bolts - Add
uppercase letters to nuts and low-
ercase letters to bolts. Have chil-
dren match them and assemble.
Robot pretend play - Use the ro-
bot vests and pretend to be ro-
bots.
Science
Tin can robots - Create various
robots with the tin cans and mag-
nets.
Magnet tray - Place magnets,
magnetic items, and non-
magnetic items on a tray. Chil-
dren can explore what is magnet-
ic and what isn’t. Observations
can be recorded in a science
journal.
Sensory
Robot sensory bin - Place a base
of black beans into a bin. Add
metallic pipe cleaners, nuts, bolts,
and any other “robot parts” on-
hand. Place magnets, cups, and
spoons next to the sensory bin.

Build a robot - Tape robot fea-
tures to wooden blocks (head,
legs, arms, etc.). Put the blocks
together to make one robot. (TF)
Robot blocks - Tape children’s
drawings to blocks. Alterna-
tively, tape printable robots to
the blocks. Create a robot
