This Paper Bag Love Robot Craft for Kids is the cutest little project to make this Valentine’s Day! Perfect for a classroom Valentine celebration!

The term ‘robot‘ is often used to make fun of people who don’t show their feelings, but with the way AI is growing, that term will stop making sense! 

However, we aren’t the first generation to insert software into a pile of metal and make it act like a real person – the idea originated ages ago, and the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz is proof! He was found by Dorothy in the forest, rusted from the rain and desperately seeking a heart of his own. Only to realize that he didn’t need it from elsewhere – he had it all along!

That’s a lovely story, and we’ve got a cute little project for you today that’ll inspire you to read it again – an adorable paper bag love robot craft! This is easy enough for little kids to make, and is perfect for a classroom Valentine!

Adorable Paper Bag Love Robot Craft for Kids

Supplies required:

• Paper bags
• Craft paper in different colors
• Black marker or Sharpie
• Scissors
• Glue

How to make the Paper Bag Love Robot Craft:

1. Cut out parts of the paper bag love robot craft from craft paper. We’ve used three different shades of gray here – the darkest for the inner ‘ears’, antenna base, arms and legs, a medium shade for the outer ‘ears’, antenna, head and body, as well as the lightest shade for the stripes. The hearts are in red, but you can use pink too. Cut out the pieces as shown in the image below.

2. Let’s start by assembling the small bits. Attach the outer ear to the inner ear by gluing the smaller nuts to the larger ones. Fix the stick of the antenna on its base, and then glue the little heart on top. 

3. Stick the light colored stripes on top of the head and body parts, making sure to align the top edges correctly. Be sure to use the stripe with the curved corners for the head and the sharp corners for the body. 

4. Let’s focus on the head of our paper bag love robot craft now. Attach the ‘ears’ on either side of the head, making sure they’re in one straight line – you don’t want a robot with lopsided ears! Use the stripe as a guide when applying glue. Stick the assembled antenna on top of the head. 

5. Stick two large white circles on the head, where the eyes should be. Now use your black marker to draw pupils and fill it in. Add some details on the top stripe, to make it look like the head of our paper bag love robot craft is screwed on tight! Oh, and don’t forget a cute smile!

6. Keep the head aside. Stick the legs of the paper bag love robot craft to the bottom of the body. 

7. Getting close to the end now! Take out the paper bag and get the assembled head and body parts. 

8. Turn the paper bag so that the folded flap is facing you. Now apply glue over the part that lies below the flap. Stick the body of the paper bag love robot craft here. 

9. Apply glue on the flap now. Stick the head of the robot here. 

10. Stick the arms of the robot on the body, so they face inwards. Be careful to apply glue only on the edges – you want the ends of the arms free. 

11. Wait – we have one more thing to add – a heart! Place a big red heart between the arms of the paper bag love robot craft, so it looks like he’s holding it. 

10. That’s it – your paper bag love robot craft is ready to celebrate Valentine’s Day with you!

Now, isn’t that a super easy craft for kids to make this Valentine’s Day? You can make the robot in any color you like, or you can go crazy and use multiple hues – after all, love comes in all colors! We think this paper bag love robot craft is perfect to sneak in a little love note – just write it on the heart and slip it between his hands – he’ll deliver the message to that special someone!
