I came up with this fun little craft while preparing for Michael's Lego Star Wars 4th Birthday party. I wanted a craft that would entertain a bunch of sugared up 4 year olds, both boys and girls. And if I know my four year old, if you can glue it and use markers, the craft will be a giant hit.
I have to say, this did not disappoint! The kids loved it and I have to admit, most of the dad's did, too.
I got the idea from this pic. I figured I could make an easy "glue it yourself" craft. I used the same template for each of the characters and just tweaked it for Yoda, Chewbaca (my fav) and R2D2.
Template:
All the pieces cut out of construction paper and ready for the kids: I cut out enough pieces for 10 of each character. My hands were like claws after that.
I set up a table with elmers glue, googly eyes, markers, crayons and colored construction paper pages. Yes, I am a brave woman, especially with my white carpet. We thankfully had no accidents.
And here are the kid's Jedi Master-pieces. Yes, that will be my last Star Wars pun.
Hil.ar.i.ous. I giggled every time I walked by these little guys.
