Build your own robot free STEM printable

This is a partnered post, so we have been paid to write it but we retained editorial control choosing what to write about.

Bet you don’t know what THE MOST IMPORTANT THING is for designing toys like a pro?

We didn’t either.

Pop over to Wicked Uncle to check out what it is, then you’ll be inspired to help your kids with our STEM printable; putting the advice into practise with your kids.

Our build your own robot printable is not only fun, but its great for learning too.

We LOVE a little bit of STEM activity on KiddyCharts, and we like to follow experts advice too, so let’s inspire some playtime fun for our kids with our new build your own robot STEM printable.

Encouraging STEM activities for kids are critical for a number of reasons:

• Provides them with a safe place to explore and enquire to encourage natural curiosity,
• Gives them a wonderful opportunity for discovery – they can “find out” about how things work in the world around them, and then feel very proud of their achievements,
• Is perfect for teaching basic to more complex problem solving skills; alongside the ability to hypothesise
  “If I do THIS, what happens, and why?”
• STEM is ubiquitous and is going to be one of the most important careers and skills to have in the future; lets start early to set up our kids with a love of STEM so they have the choice to pursue a career here if they want to.

Our simple little robot activity helps to get little hands moving with STEM early on in life, to encourage the right ways of thinking for our kids from the start.

How to take part in our STEM build your own robot activity

We have provided a set of robot parts, alongside a square construction board.

The idea is to print out en cut out the parts of the robot bodies, and mix and match putting them together to build your own robot!

Let the kids imagination go wild.

Once they have used the robot parts for inspiration, why not then use the grid to get them to draw their own robot creations, with the grid lines as guides?

This additional activity is a great one to get their imagination going alongside their design skills; something that teaches both problem solving, and creativity together.

To download the design your own robot; just click on the image below.

Which robot parts are YOUR favourite? We are most taken with the little robot wheels on our sheet – what about you?
