Building materials- Having materials such as blocks, cardboard tubes, construction paper, etc allows students to create obstacle courses, mazes, or "sets" for Sphero to travel through.
Painters Tape- Painters tape can be used to design mazes, number lines, and grids on floors and tables without damaging the surfaces.
Plastic Cups- Large plastic cups will fit over Sphero allowing students to attach various costumes or writing instruments to the robot.
