We used a toilet paper box for the body of the robot costume, a smaller box for his head and spray painted them with silver paint. We hot glued gears and circuit board’s, belts and whatever else that my company was throwing out to both the front and back of the boxes after they were painted.
We used dryer vent tubing stuff for his arms and legs, battery operated lights (you know the little led ones that you but at the party store~), a big red bowl for the top his head with a strobe light (the ones they make for inside your craved out pumpkin)underneath so it can flash.
We purchased big white gloves and put them on a stick so he could shake hands with others, shoe boxes for his feet we just put them right over his sneakers.

I love the costume as I love the boy. Albert you have such a talented Momma.

My best to all of you.
Good luck honey.

Very clever idea and very inexpensive. This costume is the bomb!
This is a great idea. The parents of this child should be nominated “parents of the year”. What a great creative mind to come up with this. And to add the fact that it looks ALL HOMEMADE…I give a way to go to “The Robot”
This is the greatest costume I have ever seen. All the kids are going to wish they had one just like it. To bad it would have to be a refrigerator box or something like that in order to make an adult costume, because I would love to wear it to a costume party.
This is really cool. It was cheep to make and very creative. good luck
