Jake the Robot

For the helmet, cut the top and handle off of the milk jug. Poke holes into the bottom and each side of the jug. Put pipe cleaners through holes about 1/2 inch, then bend and attach to the inside of the jug with hot glue. Poke holes into the bottom of each bathroom cup. Run each cup onto a pipe cleaner and secure to the jug with hot glue. Twist each pipe cleaner around pinkie finger to create spiral. Attach a styrofoam ball at the end of each pipe cleaner. Spray entire helmet with silver spray paint.

For body, cut a hole in one end of the soda case for the head and a hole on each side for the arms. Attach the shoebox lid to the front of the case with nuts/bolts (one at each corner). This will be the control panel. Spray paint the body with silver spray paint. Decorate the control panel using any craft items you choose (we used self-adhesive reflectors and rubber strips cut into a square and rectangle).
