We love crafts that promote imaginative play, especially those that will keep the kids occupied for a while. This cute creation from No Time for Flash Cards does exactly that.

This DIY project takes little time to make and uses few materials. Foam makes up the robot, and magnetic strips adhere to each piece for easy play on a cookie sheet or the fridge. Older kids can cut out and design their own robot, while little ones can revel in the countless options they have when it comes to how they want to put their robot together.

What you’ll need:

• Foam sheets
• Scissors
• Glue
• Marker
• Magnetic strips
• Cookie sheet

For the step-by-step instructions, visit the No Time for Flash Cards site. The colourful and sparkly pieces of this cool robot are sure to catch your little one’s attention and keep him busy. It’s easy to keep an eye on your kiddo while he plays on the floor or at the fridge, allowing you to be worry-free while you prepare dinner or take a well-deserved coffee break.
