May the 4th be with you Fun Crafts Kids!

It’s May the 4th, or otherwise known as Star Wars Day! In honour of the day, we’re bringing you a round up of 12 Star Wars Crafts!   

Lightsaber Sensory bottles are a great craft to make for a calming after school activity which the children will return to time and time again!

Now, if you’re really in the mood to celebrate May 4th, you’ll need a costume! We’re very fond of a home made costume, especially one which is quick and simple to make! This Rey costume can be whipped up in 30 minutes – perfect for a last minute costume party!

Whether you’re settling down to watch a Star Wars movie – or maybe you’re taking the kids to play out their favourite scenes at the park, an ice pole disguised as a light saber is a great fun snack!

Keen to encourage imaginative play? We love finger puppets! These super puppets are perfect to encourage little ones to take their favourite characters on an adventure! They’re also a great toy to take on a journey as they are easy to pack!

Give a Star Wars feel to the bedroom by stencilling pillow cases. We think this would be super for a cushion makeover too – especially in a student house! The ideal guft for someone starting Uni in September perhaps?
