What you need
Adult supervision required, clear tape, coloring materials (markers or paint pens), craft foam or felt sheet, fabric glue or double-sided tape, googly eyes or small buttons, microfiber cloth or screen-cleaning pad, pokémon go stickers, scissors, small elastic loop or ribbon

Step 1

Gather all materials on a clean table.

Step 2

Lay the microfiber cloth flat on the table.

Step 3

Place the craft foam or felt sheet under the microfiber cloth so they line up.

Step 4

Trace a simple robot shape on the foam around the cloth using a marker.

Step 5

Cut out the foam robot shape with scissors.

Step 6

Put small dots of fabric glue or strips of double-sided tape on the foam where the cloth will stick.

Step 7

Press the microfiber cloth onto the glued areas of the foam.

Step 8

Smooth the cloth with your palm to make it stick flat.

Step 9

Draw robot details like bolts and a mouth with markers or paint pens.

Step 10

Stick the googly eyes or small buttons onto the robot face using glue or tape.

Step 11

Add Pokémon Go stickers to the robot body where you want to show them off.

Step 12

Attach a small elastic loop or ribbon to the top back of the robot.

Step 13

Trim any extra foam or loose threads around the edges with scissors.

Step 14

Gently test the Robowipe by wiping a turned-off device screen corner to make sure it cleans safely.

Step 15

Share your finished Robowipe on DIY.org.

What can we use if we don't have a microfiber cloth or craft foam for the Robowipe?

If you don't have a microfiber cloth, use a soft lint-free cotton T‑shirt or an old lens-cleaning cloth and if you lack craft foam, substitute a felt sheet or thin cardboard (like a cereal box) under the cloth to keep the robot shape during steps 2–6.

My cloth is peeling off after I press it in step 7—how do I fix it?

If the cloth peels after step 7, add more small dots of fabric glue or replace weak glue with strips of double-sided tape on the foam (step 5), press firmly for 30 seconds, and let it dry flat before trimming in step 12.

How can I adapt this activity for younger or older kids?

For younger children, an adult should pre-trace and cut the foam robot (steps 3–4) and supervise gluing and sticking stickers (steps 5–10), while older kids can design freehand, use paint pens for details (step 8), and sew the elastic loop (step 11) for a sturdier Robowipe.

What are some ways to personalize or make the Robowipe last longer?

To enhance and personalize the Robowipe, add a small magnet to the top back and reinforce it with extra foam or a felt patch before attaching the elastic loop (step 11), and seal sticker edges with a clear glue or tape so it survives wiping tests in step 13.

Facts about screen cleaning and device care

🧽 Microfiber cloths are made of super-fine polyester and polyamide fibers that trap dust and oil much better than ordinary cloth.

🎮 Pokémon Go reached over 1 billion downloads worldwide by 2019, turning real-world walks into monster-catching adventures!

🤖 The word "robot" comes from the Czech word "robota," meaning forced labor — a fun origin for our Robowipe buddy!

📱 Using a soft microfiber screen cleaner is safer for screens than paper towels or tissues — it helps prevent scratches and smudges.

🏷️ Vinyl stickers are waterproof and fade-resistant, so your Pokémon decals can stay bright on your Robowipe for a long time.

How do I make a robot-themed Robowipe to show off Pokémon Go stickers?

Start by cutting a small rectangular microfiber cloth to screen-cleaner size. Design a robot body from craft foam or sturdy cardstock and glue it to one side. Create a clear sticker-display pocket using a small clear plastic sleeve or laminating pouch so stickers can be slipped in without touching the device. Attach the microfiber to the robot body with fabric glue or double-sided tape. Add Velcro or an elastic loop to secure it to a phone case, then decorate with markers and googly eyes.

What materials do I need to decorate and assemble a Pokémon Go Robowipe?

You'll need a small microfiber screen cloth, craft foam or cardstock for the robot base, a clear plastic sleeve or laminating pouch for the sticker display, Pokémon Go stickers (on backing), scissors, fabric glue or a low-temp hot glue gun (adult use), double-sided tape, markers or acrylic paint, googly eyes and small embellishments, Velcro tabs or an elastic loop to attach to a case, and optional protective screen film. Keep small parts away from very young children.

What ages is this Robowipe craft suitable for?

This craft suits different ages: 5–7-year-olds can decorate pre-cut robot pieces with stickers and markers while supervised; 8–12-year-olds can cut foam/cardstock and assemble components with minimal help; teens can design more advanced display pockets. Any use of hot glue, sharp scissors, or small embellishments requires adult supervision. For children under 4, avoid small parts and consider a simplified, sticker-only version instead.

How does this activity teach device care and what safety tips should I follow?

This project builds fine motor skills, creativity, and responsibility for device care. Important safety tips: never place stickers directly on screens—use the clear display pocket—keep adhesives off the device edges, and supervise hot glue or sharp tools. Use the microfiber only for screens and wash it gently after use. Choose non-toxic supplies and secure any small decorations so they don’t become choking hazards. The Robowipe lets kids personalize while learning safe cleaning habits.
