Draw Your Own Robot from Shapes
One robot has round eyes, a triangular nose and broad four-sided body parts. The other has a stepped pixel outline. Use a drawing as a starting point, then change its shapes to make a new character on your own sheet. Your finished invention can sit beside the coloring page.

Pick your reference picture
Use the activity button to open the selection window. Both pictures start checked; uncheck one if you only want one sheet, then add the selected pages. In the print list, check the order and choose A4 or Letter for print or PDF. A cover is optional and adds one page.
Notice how parts fit together
On the shape robot, point to its round eyes, triangular nose, four-sided head and chest shapes. On the pixel robot, follow the stepped outer edge and rectangular features. The pixels are drawing shapes, not a numbered color key. Choose one part you would like to change.
Invent a different robot
On blank paper, draw a large body, then add your own head, arms and feet. Try circles for joints or triangles for controls; choose a different position or size from the picture. Give your robot an imaginary job and draw one object it might use, such as a watering can. This is your story idea.
Color and explain one choice
Repeat a color on matching parts, then place your invention beside the printed picture. Point to a shape you kept and a part you changed. A child can show the difference by pointing or talking; an adult can write down their words. You do not have to finish coloring either sheet.
Another idea
Draw a second head or accessory beside your invention and compare the two choices. Keep the reference page whole: this activity does not need cutting, a construction kit or a real working machine.
