Climbing toys have been around for quite some time.  They are usually made of wood.  And according to Martha Stewart, this toy trained pioneer children to milk cows.  Amazing!

  Apply a thin coat of glue to a cereal box. Stick the robot on, pin down and allow it to dry.

Cut the robot out. Place double-sided tape to the back of the hands.  And stick on a short piece of straw.

Fold over and secure with tape.

Cut some string about 3 feet long and thread through the straw pieces.  Tie beads to each end.

Hang on a doorknob or hook.  Pull ends of string alternately to get the robot to reach the top.

Have fun!
