Robot-Kids

Rand perfecting his robot walk.

This stellar idea comes from Randy. If Randy knows anything, it is that kids love robots. At least ours do! I have caught Lindsey pacing back and forth, swinging her hands high and getting frustrated, only to have her tell me in all seriousness, "My robot hands aren't working today!"

This robot get-up is made out of a big box of baby wipes (minus the wipes) with the head and arms cut out and covered in aluminum foil (my idea, thank you!). The back of the robot suit is left open for easy on-and-off - it would probably be impossible to pull this over their heads. We let Lindsey draw on the buttons and knobs, but had to supervise her closely when we realized that only permanent marker would work. This is a little narrow so if your kids are the opposite of mine and have some meat on them, you might need a bigger box.
