In the evening, the boys asked me to make Wall-E. This project has been long outstanding since end April, when they saw a small model of Wall-E in the Singapore Science Centre. They had been pestering me to make it since then, but kept delaying it. I finallly researched online and printed out samples of Wall-E for reference.
Here's what we used:
- Corrugated cardboard
- Paper masking tape
- Old cardboard box
- Cardboard kitchen towel rolls
- Cardboard toilet rolls
- Hot glue gun
- A bottle of glue (I used white glue)
- 2 bottle caps for the eyes.
 |
Paint glue onto the cardboard box and stick it with another cardboard piece on all sides. (Measure the sides and cut them first, before gluing them to the box). |
Taped the sides with masking tape. Arrange the toilet roll cardboards into a triangle shape and join them together by masking tape / staple them together.Measure the correct length and width to make the caterpillar tracks from corrugated cardboard.  |
Paint one side of the cardboard with water (make sure it is the correct side) |
 |
Peel of the top piece, revealing the corrugated part |
Make the eyes in the same way. I used bottle caps for the eye balls.
Find a tall and thin box for the neck.
Glue all parts together with hot glue gun.
The whole project took us around 2 hours. (I didn't realise it was that long).
