You HAVE to check these out. I did a blog post about the paper robots back in 2012, and since then the website that offers the templates has shut down.
I spent several hours this evening searching for a way to find the templates, and finally found them in a comment from a youtube video of someone making the models.
I cannot tell you how great these are. Every single boy I have ever worked with.......
and it's quite a few....... I volunteer in the art department at a KG through High school -- has LOVED them.
One boy got so into it about seven years ago that he never gave it up. He has just graduated and is going into paper model design as a career. It all started with the paper robots.
They actually had to ban these for a while at the school where my son went because he and his friend were just playing (well having battles) with them all day. Yes, it's an alternative school so they could play a lot!!
These are good for ages 6yrs (with some help) to adult !!
Cherish this link, and make some or all of them! Let me know how many kids get hooked.
*We made ours bigger by enlarging and printing on several sheets.
