A clean empty cardboard box and large child-appropriate crayons.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Place the box on a stable table and draw several large buttons on one side.
- Choose what each button makes the pretend robot do, such as wave or turn slowly.
- Take turns pointing to a button and acting out the instruction in a clear space.
Adult removes staples, tape, and loose pieces before play and stays beside the child.
