♻️ בונים רובוט מקופסת קרטון – אתגר היצירה של השבוע

You don't need to buy anything for this project, just things you already have at home, most of which would otherwise end up in the trash. Collect a medium-sized cardboard box (a shoebox or cereal box works great), two empty toilet paper rolls, a few bottle caps in different colors, rubber bands, and anything else that looks interesting in your recycling bin. First, with scissors (and an adult's help, since some cuts need real force), cut two holes in the sides of the box, sized to fit the paper rolls exactly, these will be the robot's arms. Glue the rolls firmly in place, then glue bottle caps in a row on the box like buttons on a robot's chest. Now comes the most fun part: draw a face on the box with markers, big eyes, a smiling mouth, and maybe even an antenna made from a toothpick and a small ball of bright paper. Bonus challenge for kids who want to go one step further: poke (or have an adult poke) a small hole at the end of each arm, thread thin string through it, and tie both ends of the string to a small pulley or even just a pencil. Now, when you turn the pencil, the robot's arm 'moves' up and down, just like a real crane, built entirely from things that were about to become garbage.
