It's Robot Time...in Kindergarten

I love doing my Robot and Monster units with my kinder kids. They always love this and let's face it. Kindergarten drawings of robots are super cool. 

Day One: We look at an awesome book with lots of robots in it. Then I do a guided robot drawing with them. They do this with a pen on free draw paper...save it for later and when they get done with their collage they can color this. 

During this hour, we also create our basic Robot collage with gray paper. We glue down a head, body, arms/hands, legs/feet. Next class we will add buttons and designs using different color construction paper.

 I usually can't resist and get the googly eyes out. 

Kinder Robot Collages

Well, these happened a while back, but I have been so pre-occupied with the auction and life in general that they have yet to make an appearance...so here they are!

Kindergarten Robot Collage (2 day project)

Day One: We talked about shape, parts of a robot, played with at least 2 different compositions before gluing down and only did the major parts: Head, neck, body, 2 arms and two legs...

Day Two: Adding the eyes (at least 3 layers of color-big, medium, small) and the rest of the features.

The quiet tables got 'googly eyes' for their robots!

I took a hole puncher around for extra 'buttons' and they could use the hole-punched paper for other decorations...

Kids who finished early could create a 'mini-me' robot companion!

I tried to set the objective for buttons/designs/patterns on each major part of the robot...clearly this person followed directions!
