robot invitations, you can "transform" your space with imagination. Ready for the nuts
and bolts? Here's how to get rolling with creativity for a robot theme party that's sure
to be a hit with boys and girls alike:
- Set a robotic table. Start your robot party right by ordering the retro cute French
Bull robot collection of plates and cups, pictured left. Made of melamine, these
durable plates make for memorable keepsakes or favors. Get inspiration for
using the plates with the robot party table setting ideas from "The Hostess
with the Mostest" blog, which showcases a home-made robot centerpiece and
Pez bars scattered like confetti. The author also twists silver pipe cleaners
around utensils, but you might also choose this touch for napkin rings.
- Foiled again! Use aluminum foil to give a robotic feel to your party. Cover the
table with foil, wrap a football helmet with foil, make mini robot juice boxes.
- Hello there Mr. Roboto! Give everyone a funny robot name by simply reversing
their name. Mike becomes "Ekim" and Jenna becomes "Annej." Of course if you
have a guest named Robert, then he must become Mr. Roboto!
- Looking for Robot party favors? Make your own assembly line of robot T-shirts as
party favors. Use iron on transfers for your own robot theme design or draw
directly onto the shirt. The birthday kid will enjoy the T-shirt design, left. Or
order Retro Rocket shirts, party signs and more from Cafe Press. Look also to
ETSY.com for custom robot favor boxes. Here are more retro robot inspired
favor ideas:

Robots Party Food
When it comes to robot food to serve at the party, you'll have to get creative. See how
one robotic party planner did just that by turning ordinary party foods into robot parts,
such as nuts and bolts (Chex mix), computer chips and screws (corkscrew pasta) with
cute signage. Here are some other ideas.
Robot Games and Activities
Okay, you've already thought of using Lego blocks or Tinker Toy as entertainment so
that your party goers can build their own robotic constructions, and you may well have
thought to supply robot coloring pages. Go ahead and set up several activity stations
and have kids select their favorites. Here are some other robot games and activities to
get your motor running:
- The robots have computed that Tyler is four.
- Join the assembly line: Saturday August 22 at noon
- Robot Factory: 123 main street
- RSVP: Mary at 867-5309 (no IFs, ANDs or BOTs!)

- The Robot cake by Cookie Magazine makes a wonderful centerpiece to a table
decorated simply with a few robot favors and plates with silver dots.
- Make robot drinks. Wrap box juice drinks in aluminum foil, and embellish with
wrapped candy, such as PEZ bars for arms, Lifesaver rolls for legs, and silver
pipe cleaners for antennae.

and have kids select their favorites. Here are some other robot games and activities to

- Set out a robot assembly line with Shrinky Dinks Robots. Yes, Shrinky Dinks come
in a robot theme (pictured left). Kids color, you bake. There's no cutting. It's an
inexpensive keepsake that the kids will love to take home, so it's an activity and
favor in one!
- Have a Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em good time with robot games. The classic Rock 'Em, Sock
'Em robots game from 1966 will entertain kids and adults alike. Kids will also
enjoy a spin at creating the perfect robot by playing the Build a Robot board
game, also right. Robot novelties are abundant on Amazon and eBay.
- Build edible robots. Set out marshmallows, gum drops, cut pieces of licorice twists,
lifesavers and toothpicks, and have kids create little masterpieces. Award prizes.
- Get robotic with cardboard. Create cardboard robot parts (bodies, arms, legs, and
helmet) ahead of time, and allow kids to assemble and dress the part of robots.
This activity makes for a funny photo opportunity.
- Think retro, but buy old and new robot toys. Search for old robot deals on eBay
and new Robot toys and novelties on Amazon:
