Making a recycled robot can be a great way to use materials you already have, reduce waste, and have fun with a new craft project. To get started, you’ll need some basic supplies like cardboard, plastic containers, old toys, glue, and tape. Once you have the materials, you’ll want to start by designing your robot.

In this activity, you will build a robot out of upcycled materials. This activity guide is inspired by Junkbots: Robots from Recycled Materials. Single-use plastics are among the leading causes of environmental pollution and landfill growth. Most post-consumer plastic put in recycling bins is downcycled or trashed at a recycling center.

An engaging recycled robot craft can be enjoyed by children as a fun project. It is very simple and a great way to reuse old toilet roll tubes, plastic bottle tops, straws, buttons, and other materials. The arms of this toy can move upward and downwards as well as zoom around on the wheels.

Making a robot out of recycled plastic bottles is an excellent way to repurpose and reuse materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill. With some creativity and basic materials, you can create a fun, interactive and environmentally friendly robot that will fascinate and engage children and adults alike.
