Box Robot

The Box Robot by 4M is a unique toy that is not only creatively designed to be science-based, but it is also eco-friendly. When children are younger, we try very hard as parents to find the perfect gifts for them. As they open the box, we hope to bring that priceless look of excitement onto their faces while we watch and vicariously soak up their joy. Then, of course, the toy is thrown to the side as your child spends the next few hours playing with the box in which it came. Finally, there is a toy specifically designed for children to play with the box.

Once opened, the 4M Box Robot instantly recycles the box in which it came by reusing it as the robot's body. Inside the box are all of the necessary parts to creatively decorate it and bring the robot to life. Your child can use the included plastic and cardboard pieces to form the major parts of the robot, such as arms, legs, eyes, and nose, but the included marker gives him or her the power of creating character and personality. After decorating the robot as silly, friendly, or scary, your son or daughter can install the motor and appropriate gears to power the robot's legs. With only one AA battery required, and the ability to also use the plastic overwrap as robot decoration, the Box Robot leaves a very small carbon footprint by recycling nearly everything with which it comes.
