When my son came to me and said: “mom, I wanna be a cool robot this year”, I knew it had to be good. We had a lot of fun making this Robot costume.
Michael and I went to countless stores searching for things to use for our robot. We found a steamer and silver hair net at a small Asian store in the mall. We found vent tubes, foil tape and several other items that I have no idea what they are for. We found a gadget at Sears department store.
We borrowed the battery from dad’s drill to power the lights. The lights on the side of his head and stomach were push lights. LED lights, found at Walmart, were placed around his arms and neck. We used silver tacks and washers to make bolts.
We bought a big ball from REI because we wanted to use the box it came in for the head.
Michael wanted a mean robot so we used an old stretch see-through top to cover the front of the head. We used the foil tape to make the face. We decided to use Velcro for attaching the fabric, so we could remove it if we needed to for trick or treating.
Michael loved his costume and had a lot of fun being a robot this year. The attention he got this year was huge!
