An Awesome List of Cool Star Wars Stuff for Kids.
The Star Wars movie franchise has been capturing audiences and imaginations since 1977! The movies come from the creative mind of director George Lucas, and show no signs of slowing down in popularity. With a new movie, Episode VII: The Force Awakens, just on the horizon and two more promised by 2019, Star Wars just keeps getting more and more attention and winning the hearts of younger generations.
Since blasting onto screen over 3 decades ago, Star Wars has been at the forefront of special effects, makeup and character development. We have fallen in love with alien creatures and princesses from the future! Star Wars crosses age boundaries and allows adults and kids alike the freedom to use their imaginations! After all these years, Star Wars has us coming back for more, and has never let fans down.
Did you know that May 4th is Star Wars Day? Star Wars fans everywhere celebrate by wearing costumes, hosting parties, watching all the movies in one long marathon, serving thematic food and greeting friends with the phrase “May the Fourth Be With You”. Our family likes to make pancakes in the shape of Tie Fighters and X-Wings and squeeze in at least one movie.

Included are free coloring pages, crafts, activities, educational worksheets, books and more! Make the most of May 4th by using the Star Wars Day theme to encourage even your most reluctant learner.

Thanks for using my Star Wars inspired Popcorn balls! This is a great compilation! There are some good ideas I’ll have to use this summer in here!
I loved the Freezer Pop idea and we will be using that in the summer for sure! My kids love all these ideas and we are big time fans so this was a fun list to make.
In the words of my 7 year old son, “This is EPIC!” Pinning it for later 🙂
