Junk Robot
Captain A will help you learn: Design and imagination - planning a build from the parts you have.
⚠️ Use only clean cans with no sharp edges (or cover the rims with tape). An adult should help with strong glue. Small parts like buttons and bottle caps are choking hazards, so keep them away from children under 3.
Play through the project step by step, with narration read aloud.
