Pre-K Shape Robots

The Pre-K'ers had a dance party while we watched this, danced around the room and giggling.  I was super impressed that one student even knew that the song was by James Brown.  

Next I showed students my examples of robots and asked them what shapes they could see.  I heard "triangles, squares, rectangles, star, circle, oval", etc etc. I asked students to think of shapes that they could use to start making their robots head.  They were full of ideas.  I also asked what shapes they could use for the eyes, body, legs, hands, etc.  By the time they had their paper in front of them, they had so many ideas and immediately began working.  I supplied them with these images for reference:

For this super fun Pre-K projects, students figured out how to create their own robots using shapes.  To get this started, we watched a clip from the movie Robots (which I can't even believe is already 10 years old-older than these students).
They first drew their robots with pencil, the next class they traced their lines with Sharpies and erased the pencil marks.  Students then spent two class periods filling in their robot with bright colors, using colored pencils.  This project took four 25 minute class periods.  During the last class, each student got to select a background color to post their artwork on.  

This project was really fun and the results are awesome!  I will definitely be doing this again next year!
