DIY Wood Robot Toy

Wood Robot Toy Idea

This is sketch of a wooden robot from the notebook that I kept in the months before my son’s birth. I thought it would be a good toy for him to gnaw on. My son is almost two now. Some projects do take a while.

Don’t take an example from me! It’s a very simple project to make, whether you want to make a toy for a young kid or want an older kid to have their first woodworking experience (and this articulated wooden robots can be the next step). No special tools or materials are required.

Tools & Materials

Toy Robot: Woodworking Process

I love using wooden blocks for making new toys. For one thing, you don’t need to have a lot of tools to work with wooden blocks: everything comes already pre-cut. In addition to that, I often see wooden blocks in thrift stores, so it’s easy to replenish our supply for new projects and give some new life to old toys. As a result, we have a pretty good collection of blocks of different sizes and grains.

For the robot, we took two cuboids and four cubes. If you don’t have wooden blocks, but want to cut them from boards, the dimensions of the cubes were 1.5×1.5×1.5″ , and the cuboids were 2.5×2.5×1.5″. The combination of light and dark wood in one project always looks exciting, so I also used a 1/4″ scrap of a cherry board for making a panel on the front of the robot. That little front panel was actually the most complicated part of the whole toy robot project.
