The Robots Made Out of Junk Are Coming

"Take me to your leader! We wish to talk with him about recycling!" Gordon Bennett makes these toy robots out of recycled materials from garbage dumps, basements and garage sales. The robots range in height from 14" to 25". The materials used are wood, metal, bakelite, glass, plastic, rubber and paint. Apparently each robot takes about a month to make, and they cost about $2000. :: Bennett Robot Works

I work with adults with disability in the craft room and we enter a lot of crafts contest, the City of Artesia has a art show coming up next month and 75 % of the crafs items must be made out of recyclable. Have you got any suggestion on either small crafts or one large craft forour 35 individuals group.
Thank You
