Candy Robot Valentines


We have a lot of playdates with friends.  It's wonderful!  We go to my work and the kids run through the school screaming, playing tag.  They run until they can't run anymore and then we make a craft.  I love that both my kids love to make crafts.  And this was definitely a fun one!  It's super similar to our Juice Box Robots that we made for my daughter's birthday last year but I didn't even think about making them with all candy until I saw these over on Seasonal Expressions.
My kids had a blast creating, glueing (and in my daughter's case, eating)!  Look at the great creations they made.






Totally cute, right?!?!  And what a great time with friends.



How cute!

I am drawn to robots, lately. What a fun and unique craft. Makes me miss the days you could send your kids to school with candy on Valentine's day. Truly and adorable Tutorial.

These are ADORABLE! :) I did something similar a couple of years ago using juice boxes, Fruit Roll-Ups and various candies. The kids in my son's class LOVED them! Unfortunately our school no longer allows any edible Valentines. :( No candy, no cookies, nothing.

What kind of glue did you use? I wasn't sure if one is better than another. Love this idea!!

Melissa - if you have a low temp glue gun, that works best. Otherwise we use Aleene's Original Tacky Glue.
