When Morgan was around about three he fell in love with robots… or ‘lobots’ as he called them back then.
It’s comforting and also slightly surreal that as Noah approaches three he is also a tad obsessed with robots… or ‘wobots’ as he calls them.
Noah makes robots out of Lego and has begun to label all his drawings as ‘wobots’ and he adores the book ‘That’s Not My Robot’.
Following his interest in robots I thought I might make him some for the felt board, but then I remembered I had stashed away some printable magnet paper and I knew exactly what I would do with it – a build your own robot set!
A little time spent creating robot parts, some more time cutting them out and then lots of time having fun on the bottom of the fridge.
Ok, I confess, I love these little guys almost as much as Noah does and I can’t wait for the big kids to come home and discover them!
You can download the build your own robot pdf here. Then all you have to do is print, cut and play. If you don’t have printable magnet paper you could cut up old magnets and stick them to the back of each piece, or this would be fun made from regular paper and used kind of like a puzzle on a tray.
If you like robots then check out our free printable robot drawing prompts too!
Awesome!
These are great. Both my little guys love playing with magnets on the fridge. I’ll have to try it out.
I would love if you would come link up on our Artsy Play Wednesday linky.

Love this new printable Kate!! So creative and fun – can’t wait to make them this summer – thanks!
Fantastic! Have been saving the magnet paper I have stashed away for something special and this is it! Thank you :)
So cute! My little guy will love them; I love them! Would love for you to come share them at Mom’s Library! http://lifewithmoorebabies.blogspot.com/2013/05/moms-library-kids-crafts.html
These are so cute, I may have to go buy some printable magnetic paper! I’m sharing this on my PreschoolPowolPackets Facebook page too!
These are fantastic! Thank you for sharing. My son will love them.
Super cute… thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your lobot parts! I’ve got two little boys who are going to love these.
Love the robots. How cool would it be to print the images on nice, sturdy white cardstock on high quality then adhere the page to a magnet page? Those pieces would be so much fun to use on a fridge!
“An obsession with printables.” Bless your heart. This is great! I’m thinking of using this at my library’s Play Table.
Love this. I am going to use this tomorrow in my daycare. I will have 2 toddlers and they will love glueing these together. I printed it on cardstock. (3.5 yr old girl and a 2.5 yr old boy) Imaginations!

This is great. My daughter is 2 and has just taken an interest in robots. I’m going to laminate these and make them into magnets so she can play with them on the fridge.
