Makers Day 2015

Last week, our library hosted a NJ Makers Day. We had 900 patrons walk through our doors to participate in all of the fun activities we offered.

I decided to host  a recycled robot station with a fellow librarian. All of our supplies were donated by the community and library staff members! Over 100 people stopped by our table to make their own robot.

Supplies:

• Tin cans
• Paper towel rolls
• Pom Poms
• Pipe cleaners
• Sticker eyes
• Google eyes
• Sequins
• Buttons
• Pony beads
• CDs
• Glue sticks

*I recommend using glue sticks for the robots. Make sure you use a lot of glue so the decorations stick! The school glue and tacky glue wouldn't stick to the cans.*
