2. Have your helper cut a hole for your head, and two holes on the sides for your arms.
3. Decorate the box to make your robot special.
4.  Ask a grown-up to twist pipe cleaners around the headband (one on either side) so that they stick out about 4 inches, and secure the pipe cleaners with glue.

6. Try it all on and look to see what a special robot you have become!
