Download this printable FREE from my Teachers Pay Teachers store.

Then scroll down for instructions on how to assemble it.

Print it out – either regular paper or cardstock works fine for this project.

A little tip – cardstock will hold up better, but is more difficult to fold.

Cut out around the outside edge of the robot – and don’t forget to trim the dark lines in the middle, between the two sections of the robot.

Fold the robot in half,right down the middle on the dotted line.

Then fold down on all the other dotted lines. Make sure to fold down the tabs, too.

Next you’re going to glue the tabs to form the robot. Think of it as two boxes held together by the first middle line you folded.
