MondayTrace it

Trace a robot, then color its control panel

Trace the dotted lines, then color the buttons, lights and dials. Silver is just gray with a shiny white streak.

TuesdayBuild it

Build a robot in six steps

Robots are made of boxes and circles, which makes them the easiest characters to draw step by step.

WednesdayGrid it

Copy a robot square by square

Straight robot lines are perfect for the grid method.

ThursdayInvent it

Invent a robot from a shape

Every shape can be a robot part. What job does yours do?

FridayComic day

Robot comic day

Draw what happens when the robots from this week get a day off.

The whole week in three books
