DIY Candy-Dispensing Robots

These Quirky Robots make the Perfect DIY Valentine Gifts for Children

These super-cute homemade robots make the perfect DIY Valentine gifts for children and toddlers to make. If you have a little person in your life who wants to get in on the gift-giving action and wants to make something for their mum or schoolmate, the robot Valentine boxes are a treat.

The fun design requires little effort -- you'll just need some matchboxes, tin foil, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, scotch tape, glue and some sweets. Once children are done decorating their robot, they can pull the little drawer to reveal some candy inside.

This is a fun and simplistic project for kids to take part in either at home supervised by parents, or as a school project. Get creative and make some themed quirky DIY Valentine Ggifts this February 14th.
