Building droids has become a new, fun pastime around here. My son loves to build droids and robots and anything mechanical. Of course he is still too young yet to be able to build a working, moving droid on his own. However, there is still plenty of fun in designing and building model droids. Whether you have a Star Wars movie fan or just a robots fan, our free coloring sheets for building droids and robots is a fun way to pass an afternoon. Plus it’s a great STEAM activity combining science, technology, engineering, art, and math!
BUILD A DROID FOR A FUN STEAM ACTIVITY FOR KIDS!
BUILD A DROID
Building a droid is a great way to use items from the recycling bin as well as styrofoam pieces and trays! The first step to building droids of all shapes and sizes at home is to become a saver. A saver of everything from bread bag clips and soda can tabs to plastic bottles and packaging materials.
I keep a large plastic tote handy and anything cool to build a droid or a robot is stashed away! This ensures us that there is always something on hand for this build a droid activity at a moments notice!
What are items worth saving for Building Droids?
You certainly don’t need all of these items to get started building a droid or robot. You also don’t need to go out and make a huge purchase. Check out what you have and see what you can build. Junk drawers are a great place to start. I bet you have items I haven’t even thought of hiding in drawers!
What are items to have on hand for Building Droids?
These items are from our craft supply, tool box, and kitchen cupboards. Add a few necessary items like scissors, glue, tape, paper, markers, and pencils and you are ready for building tons of droids!

DROID COLORING PAGES
My son had a great time coloring these droid coloring pages filled with gizmos, gadgets, buttons, and gears! You can use the link below to download and print them out! As is, one rectangle cutout will wrap around a mini or regular size plastic water bottle. Or you can cut out sections for building droids of different sizes and shapes!

Time to have fun coloring, designing, creating, and building droids. We all had fun working together to build a few droids this week. I assisted with the hot glue gun while he showed me where items were to be glued. He had great stories for each piece. I have never seen him want to color so much!
You can also see, he made a teleportation pad for his droid. It’s also a charging station and remote control made out of DVD protector. Building a droid can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be!

Building droids makes a fun family activity that multiple age kids can share together. Perfect for an indoor day or school vacation.
My son’s creativity and ingenuity has really begun to blossom this year. I love encouraging him anyway possible. We know have a dedicated STEAM station set up. It’s a great way to spend time together and connect over new interests.
