A real dad should be able to do everything — especially in front of his kids, and especially right after watching yet another robot movie together. The coolest, most impressive thing you can do to wow your little ones is build a real robot together, right at the kitchen table.
For kids, this brings just as much joy as a brand-new toy from the store — plus, it’s a great way to teach them the basics of electricity and hands-on tools. We at AdmiGram.com have handpicked the easiest video tutorials out there, so you can build a simple robot with your own hands in just a few minutes.
5 Simple Robots to Make by Hand in 5 Minutes
Beetle Robot from a Clothespin
The simplest robot you can make with your kids. A great chance to casually explain how a basic electrical circuit works.
Spider Robot from a Battery and Straws
This one can startle the neighbors or thoroughly confuse your cat. The spider robot looks genuinely creepy — even more so if you glue on something furry.
Walking Robot
This build is a bit more advanced, but still simple to put together. It’s the kind of project that can easily win over a school science fair.
Loader Robot from Popsicle Sticks
Fun to watch in action — load a small can of soda onto its cart and see if it can carry it all the way to you.
Robot from a Cardboard Box
For this one, you’ll definitely need to be a little handy with tools and glue. But with some patience, it’ll bring pure delight to your kids.
