Robot party theme invitations
On a narrow strip of black paper write the party details with a white or silver pen. Then hot-glue gun the short side of the strip to the body of a flat-ended screw. Roll the screw up in the paper so that it sits inside. Use a tiny silver spot sticker to hold the paper in place and mail off.

Robot party theme decorations
- Think metallics, silver, nuts and bolts.
- Buy silver balloons and silver cellophane paper to create streamers.
- Raid the toolbox and dig out all the old, never-to-be-used nuts and bolts and string them together to make a garland. Thread the string through a nut, tie it on, then through another one, spacing a few centimetres apart.
- Place the food trays and bowls on a paper tablecloth and use the plates and bowls as ‘body parts’ of a robot, drawing the other body parts around it on the paper.
Robot party activities and birthday party games
- Tin-can robot station: using washed and cleaned tin cans (try sticking some thick duct or packaging tape around the rim to avoid cuts), make up a little table with an assortment of metal bits and bobs – screws, nuts, bolts, washers as well as some wiggly plastic eyes and springs. Hot-glue small magnets onto each of the pieces and have the kids ‘create’ robots by sticking the magnetic pieces onto the cans.
- Robot freeze dance: let the kids do robot dancing, then ‘freeze’ when the music stops.
- Edible robot competition: lay out an assortment of foody things in various shapes – crescent apples, rectangle carrots, square bread slices, round sultanas and cucumbers etc and have the kids get creative and ‘play with their food’ to make robots.
- Robot races: first to the finish line walking like a robot (straight legs out of the side; arms stiff but bent at elbow moving up and down) wins.
Robot party take-home party bag ideas
Tin can robots and antenna: stick a foam ball into the end of a pipe cleaner and wrap around a headband, leaving a few centimetres of length between the band and ball so that it sticks upright.
