Engineer's birthday is coming up, so we were talking decorations. We're pretty simple with birthday party decorations, and we like to make our own sometimes. The kiddo remembered the cupcake liner ladybugs we made last week and suggested something like that "but way more cool and Star Wars, Mom!" So that's how this little Star Wars craft came about.

cupcake liner Death Star - a fun Star Wars craft for kids

Materials
White cupcake liners (we used the slightly larger-than-average liners)
Gray and black crayons
Black watercolors (we used liquid watercolors, but the regular would work, too)

Directions
Decide on the design for your Death Star. This was an important step for Engineer, as he wanted it to look a certain way. We finally settled on something pretty simple after referencing photos from the movie. It's not accurate, but it was approved by a Star Wars-lovin' 7-year old ("I'm almost 8, Mom!")

Flatten the cupcake liner, then grab the crayons. We used both black and gray crayons for this step. I think they both turned out well.

Draw the design onto the cupcake liner. Here's one of the "designs" we created for our Death Stars:

Draw the superlaser at the top of the Death Star. We made it a circle with a dot in the middle. Then we added lines coming out from the dot.

Draw a horizontal line along the center of the liner. Draw a few more horizontal lines above and below the center line.

Go back and add in vertical lines between each of the horizontal lines. We spaced ours out randomly.

Engineer also made a few Death Stars with vertical and horizontal lines interconnecting all over the cupcake liner. It's really up to you and the kiddos how it looks!

The Death Star makes for a great sun catcher too (as long as you ignore the dirty windows)!

Once you're happy with the design, start painting! Once everything's dry, put them up. Right now we have a few in the kitchen window and a few along the walls.

Do you have a child who would enjoy this simple Star Wars craft? If you try it out, be sure to let me know. I'd love to see photos of your kids' Star Wars arts and crafts over on the Fun-A-Day Facebook page!

Are you ready for it? Tomorrow is the big day! The force awakens and we will be there to see it too. In 3D no less. Young movie fans will love this Star Wars play dough kit to imagine and build a Death Star. I am taking full advantage of my son's love for Star Wars with a few fun activities in preparation for the big day. Check out all of these awesome STAR WARS science and STEM activities too!

Star Wars Play Dough: Build a Death Star Challenge

I had started out with a completely different Star Wars play dough idea last week using our new squishy circuits kit. However, I told my son about it before I checked on all the ingredients for the right play doughs to go along with the kit. Yep, change of plans and quickly too. He was getting pretty sad when I said we couldn't do the original Death Star idea. Quick think of something. Usually my son is not one for straight play dough play, but I told him I could at least make some sort of black Star Wars play dough and he could build his own Death Star. Winner, winner!

Now to find a playdough recipe I did have the ingredients to make. I don't stock cream of tartar. To be very honest, I don't want to spend the money on it. I found this awesome and easy recipe for a no-cook, no tartar playdough recipe on Instructables.

Watch the video and make your own Star Wars play dough. I actually had a black watercolor tube, but you could use black food coloring. Or do your best to mix equal amounts of red, green, and blue food coloring for a dark grey.

I made some variations in the grey and black colors of our Star Wars play dough {mostly because I didn't really know how it was going to come out.} You need quite a good squeeze or two of the black watercolor gel to get a rich black. Please be advised that it did not stain our hands and they were easily washed. However, some color does come off the dark the dough. Be prepared with the right clothes and protected surfaces. You could also buy some black play dough too.

This Star Wars play dough activity turned into a super fun activity that we both enjoyed. Daddy can't wait to get home and make one too after I sent him a few pictures. I quickly gathered some supplies like LEGO bricks, pipe cleaners or straws {for lasers}, washers and nuts, and a round hard surface {optional}. I had this interesting plastic fillable snow globe thing I thought we could mold the dough around. You could also use a bowl flipped over or just make the play dough into a ball. Encourage your kids to do whatever they like with their Star Wars play dough. I also had to add a LEGO Darth Vader and Storm Troopers.

We checked out the Death Star on the iPad and loved the green lasers. We have also done a cool Death Star baking soda science activity since we this play dough one!

He found he could use the LEGO bricks to make patterns in the play dough or decorate the outside with washers. He got the lasers ready first thing and built an extra fighter with the LEGO pieces.

The sky is the limit when building your own Death Star with cool Star Wars play dough. I made one over a bowl to give a different idea. Here's my half a Death Star. I guess I can't wait for the movie too!

Clean up was easy and I am storing our Star Wars play dough in resealable bags to keep it moist. What will me make next? I heard something about a Millennium Falcon, so I can't wait to see what he comes up with for that one. My husband will have to get in on that fun with our new Star Wars play dough kit.

Hands up if you have a Star Wars fan in your home? We do and he has been waiting for the day to share his love with our kids! I mean, that really is one of the joys of parenting isn't it- sharing those passions and joys that were so super cool during your own childhood with your kids? And Dad 101's love of Star Wars is so much cooler than my excitement at recently find Jem and the Holograms on one of our pay TV channels 😉 Anyway, in our home, apparently the time for the sharing is now, largely due to the greatly anticipated upcoming release of the seventh installment in the series, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

To celebrate the release, we've teamed with Duracell, an official partner of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, to power some fabulously fun Star Wars inspired play in your home. Puppets are one of my absolute favourite toys for encouraging literacy development in children. Playing with puppets is not only about speaking and listening, it's also about developing story telling skills such as planning, sequencing and comprehension. There are also a whole host of creative, imaginative and social benefits of puppet play. And puppet play is not just for little kids. Oh no, hand over a set of these fab printable Star Wars shadow puppets, and school aged children will have a great time creating stories and scenarios together. All you need is a torch to power your shadow puppet play, no fancy theatre set up required!

How to Make Your Own Star Wars Shadow Puppets
You will need:

Scissors

Utility knife

Wooden chopsticks, bamboo skewers or straws

Tape

A torch (powered with long lasting Duracell Ultra AA batteries, of course!)

1. Print out the Star Wars shadow play puppets (see printable instructions above).

2. Cut around each puppet and carefully cut out each white area with the utility knife - you'll definitely need adult help for this step.

3. Laminate and then cut around each laminated puppet.

4. Tape each puppet to a bamboo skewer or straw.

Then your puppets are ready for play! Set up your torch so that it is projecting at the wall and hold each puppet between the light source and the wall. Have fun creating new adventures with these classic Star Wars characters - and just try to keep Dad away from the fun!

I have a confession - I'm not a huge Star Wars fan. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the movies, I just wouldn't call myself a huge fan. In some ways, I want to be a huge fan. The Star Wars community just seems like so much fun! I just cannot get myself that into it.

Having said that, the first May 4th that I saw an image saying "May the Fourth Be With You" I laughed for a good 5 minutes. I enjoy silly humor. So when Cassie from 3 Dinosaurs and I were brainstorming a new joint pack to work on for the beginning of May, a Star Wars themed popped into my head. I ended up having so much fun putting this pack together and I know my boys will enjoy using the pages! I hope your kiddos enjoy them too!

Rejoice you may, parents and kids! Because we've compiled ten of the best -themed books for children. These out-of-this-galaxy selections are perfect gifts and library additions for Star Wars fans, reluctant readers, LEGO buffs, and young padawans everywhere.

The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, by Tom Angleberger
This incredible and truly authentic book follows the adventures of sixth grader Tommy and his awkward friend Dwight, "who wears shorts with his socks pulled up above his knees" and works a finger puppet, Origami Yoda, that doles out wise, uncanny advice to Tommy and his peers. A book that's both goofy and brilliant,The Strange Case of Origami Yoda confronts all the peaks and pitfalls of middle school. It's the first in a series by Angleberger that's likely to win over all readers, especially boys who have yet to become bookworms.

Emperor Pickletine Rides the Bus: An Origami Yoda Book, by Tom Angleberger
In the finalOrigami Yoda case file from Angleberger and the kids at McQuarrie Middle School, Tommy and his friends gear up for a school trip to Washington, D.C., that packs in more adventure than a Rebel attack. Once again writing spot-on humor for middle schoolers, Angleberger delivers another read that seamlessly blends the real world and Star Wars. (Remember: while we've only reviewed the two bookends of the Origami Yoda series here, there are other entries to explore in this well-loved collection.)

Star Wars: Phonics Boxed Set, by Quinlan B. Lee
Learning to read just got a lot easier for Star Wars fans. This boxed set of phonics instructions includes ten books (each of which cover a specific vowel sound), two workbooks (one for short vowels, one for long), loads of large-font, easy-to-read Star Wars stories, and stills straight from the Star Wars movies. It's a lot more fun to sound out your first words when you love what the words say and who they're about. Perfect for Jedis just starting at the Academy.

Art2-D2's Guide to Folding and Doodling: An Origami Yoda Activity Book, by Tom Angleberger
An ideal selection for grade-school Star Wars fans who also like crafts, Art2-D2's Guide to Folding and Doodling contains lots of origami and illustration ideas presented in true Angleberger style-with plenty of wit and whimsy. Learn how to fold your own Yoda, Darth Vader, C-3PO, and more. Make a functioning ChapStick rocket! Brush up on your "pencil pod-racing"! Become an expert at photographing origami against two original Star Wars backdrops, or just settle in to draw Jabba (that's going to take a while). A great activity book that makes a perfect companion to the complete Angleberger series.

LEGO Star Wars: The Dark Side, by Daniel Lipkowitz
The final recommendation in our LEGO/ Star Wars triptych has a little bit of edge to it. Jedi skeptics will enjoy this photographic collection of Darth Vader's minifigure minions, battle scenes, Sith starships, and Death Star details. Chock full of facts about the Sith way and Vader himself-made complete with an evil minifigure-this book might inspire little Rebels to turn to the dark side while they're turning its pages.

Star Wars in 100 Scenes, by Jason Fry
The must-have choice for fans young and old, Star Wars in 100 Scenes is a comprehensive book reliving the entire six-part Star Wars series, scene by scene, and movie still by movie still. Each spread is accompanied with explanatory details that leave no meteorite unturned. Learn everything you ever wanted to know about each character, conflict, and conclusion. A great gift for those just learning about Star Wars, as well as those who thought they knew it all.

May 5, 2014 - Share0 Tweet0 Pin0 This sidewalk chalk game combined Star Wars, reading, handwriting practice, and running. It is seriously so much fun, and if Star Wars isn’t your thing, you could tailor it to any favorite story. Creating the Star Wars Game We came up with a list of Star Wars words together. I tried to focus on words that were not Star Wars specific (like Tatooine),

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
To say that my 5 year old is obsessed with Star Wars would be the understatement of the year. Remember his Star Wars pop-up book? I'm been trying to harness his interest and use it to encourage him to practice his handwriting and storytelling skills.

I'm not even quite sure how he first learned of Star Wars. Perhaps from a friend at school? By now he has brow-beaten his dad and me to see the first three movies. ( I still think of them as the "first", even though they are technically Episodes 4-6.).

In any case, it doesn't matter. If he is interested in Star Wars right now, I'm going to harness that interest for educational purposes. Why not use it to make handwriting practice fun?

New Kid learned that there are soon to be three more Star Wars movies! He wanted me to tell him the stories, but truthfully, I really did not want to make up Star Wars stories so I said instead he could write them!

He balked at the handwriting of course, but the idea of having new Star Wars books was too tempting to pass up. He agreed to write the titles and draw the illustrations. I wrote the interior text.

I think this was a win-win. I didn't have to tax my brain coming up with plot points on a topic that bored me ( hey, just being honest, here), but my son would give his fine motor skills some action while drawing and writing.

This project extended over at least a week. We have four new books now. ( Yes, I've been reading them to him ever since...) New Kid feels quite proud of himself and I enjoyed listening to the crazy stories he invented.

Watch out George Lucas.

My son has been very interested in Star Wars for years, ever since his aunt and uncle took him to the Jedi Academy. He's always been into LEGO, so imagine his reaction when he discovered LEGO Star Wars! I created this LEGO science experiment for his 7th birthday party. He and his buds absolutely loved it, and we've recreated it many (many!) times over the years.

Rescue Han Solo in this Star Wars LEGO science experiment

Engineer's friends requested an "activity" for his birthday party, as they love the random experiments we do. As I was striving to come up with something, I remembered Han Solo being encased in carbonite. That, coupled with how much I loved our "exploding" pirate treasure chests, inspired this science activity.

Materials we used

Ice cube tray
Baking soda
Vinegar
Water
Lego Star Wars minifigures
Angry Birds Star Wars figures

Directions

1. Mix 3 parts baking soda with 1 part water. If desired, add Jello powder to scent and color the mixture.*

2. Pour a small amount of the mixture into the bottom of the ice cube tray.

3. Place one Star Wars toy into each section.

4. Cover each toy up with more of the baking soda and water mixture.

5. Place the ice cube tray into the freezer for a few hours.

6. Remove the "carbonite"-encased figures and place in containers.

7. Add vinegar to save Han Solo and his Star Wars buddies.

*Engineer and I made one tray using the basic mixture and one tray with blue Jello added to it.

How Our Han Solo LEGO Science Went

Despite the fact that we've done a variety of baking soda and vinegar experiments in the past, they never seem to get old! To begin with, I placed one figurine in small glass dishes for each of the boys. They happily spooned vinegar to rescue the Star Wars characters. Once they'd saved all of the Lego figures from the basic white "carbonite", they moved onto the Jello mixture.

As they rescued more Star Wars characters, they became even more excited about the experiment. This meant we had to move everything into a much larger tub. I probably should have done that to begin with! 🙂 The boys used the vinegar bottles to pour vinegar over the remaining cubes. Once all of them were melted, they began having fun with the vinegar and baking soda.
Related: Simple LEGO Sensory Bottle Kids Can Make
There were mini "explosions" from the vinegar bottles as they added more baking soda. They dissolved into giggles when they realized shaking the bottles created funny fizzes. Needless to say, I needed a couple of towels at this point! The Lego Star Wars figures had fun in the "blue swamp" as they battled each other amid volcanic eruptions.

I loved hearing the stories the kiddos created as they played. They definitely had a blast with this Lego science activity, and we only stopped because we ran out of vinegar! Engineer has already asked to try this again, and I'm sure it will be fun to do in the summer heat.

Ideas for Next Time

I will definitely be trying this science experiment outside next time. The kids got so into it that there was a small disaster in my kitchen! Since it was raining, though, there really wasn't a better place for us to play. Plus, a couple of towels cleaned everything up pretty easily.

I'll also start everything out in a larger tub. We used with small dishes at first, so each child could have his own space. I should have known they'd end up combining everything anyway!

I plan on freezing a lot more figures next time, too. Or at least make more frozen baking soda cubes. It's such fun for the kids, and I love encouraging their interest in science!

Do you have any Lego Star Wars fans at home? Have you tried any Lego science experiments recently? If so, I would love to hear about them in the comments below. I'm sure Engineer would be interested in trying them out in the next month or two.

One of my latest realizations about homeschooling is that being flexible and following my children's interests instead of my own agenda - with specific, traditional Montessori lessons, for example, is key to our success. So, with that acceptance, I took a step back, put my ego on the back burner, and observed my boys, which is why I've chosen to embrace Star Wars. I hope you enjoy these Montessori inspired activities with a Star Wars theme. We're kicking off our learning with Star Wars Math.

Star Wars Math

Materials

Darth Vader Mask Outline

Black Construction Paper or Cardstock

Star Wars Light Sabres

Die

Piece of Felt or Mat

Addition, Subtraction, and Equals signs

Approach

Print out an outline of Darth Vader's mask from online

Cut out three outlines from black paper & laminate

Introduce the activity to the child with him sitting to your left

Place a piece of felt in front of you with the three Darth Vader masks on the felt

You or the child roll die

Ask the chid to gather the number of light sabers that matches the roll & to place the light sabers onto the first Darth Vader mask

Place the addition or subtraction sign after the first mask explaining that you're adding or subtracting and what that means

Roll the die again & gather light sabers to match the next addend

Then add (or subtract) light sabers to get the total amount

Have the child physically place the two piles of light sabers together (or take from the left addend) following the equals sign

Then have the child count for the answer

Extensions

Use other objects

Practice other math operations

Count total lightsabers

Sort lightsabers by color

Skip counting

Introduce place value to match Montessori color coding

Now.. I don't know about you, but both The Englishman and my son are HUGE STAR WARS fans.. I guess it is a generational thing (mainly the Englishman's childhood) and him passing on his childhood passion to his son.

Personally, I enjoy the Star Wars films and the Star Wars characters, but I really don't have to watch them all 10 times.. hahaha. Having said that, that doesn't stop me on embarking on some Star Wars Crafts & Activities with the kids. BUT... the new generation now doubt will love our collection of Baby Yoda Crafts, right?

I suspect that Red Ted will want a Star Wars party next year, so this "round up" is a great start for me to plan his "big day". Also, did you know that there was actually a STAR WARS DAY?! Yep.. May the 4th be with you. Teehee. You gotta love a pun on words. So if you are looking for May the 4th Day activities, are planning a Star Wars party or simply love Star Wars and anything to do with it, these crafts are for you. Many you can do with the kids, some you can do FOR the kids. And a number of these Star Wars crafts also make great gifts for Star Wars fans (I particularly like the Star Wars Ornaments as gift ideas!).

Force Friday is upon us! Around the world stores will be opening their doors at midnight for a special celebration of all things Star Wars and selling the very first Star Wars: The Force Awakens items for fans.

It's going to be a long haul if you're camping out for this forcetastic event, so why not take a helpful droid along for the journey? This particular BB-8 droid is edible, making it both useful and delicious.

Make up some BB-8 donuts for your shopping adventure and May the Force be with you on Force Friday!
BB-8 Donuts
You'll need:

Donut holes

12 ounces white candy melts

Black icing

Blue icing

Orange Icing

Lollipop sticks

1. Melt candy melts according to directions.

2. Dip the donut holes to coat. For the top of BB-8, slice donut holes in half, then dip into candy melts. Place on parchment to set.

3. Once the coating has set, add details using a #2 tip and the blue and orange icing.

4. Use black icing and a #3 tip to add BB-8's eyepiece details.

5. When the icing has dried, poke the lollipop stick into the half dome and slide up the stick. Then poke the round donut hole below it to complete the droid.

Find Your Star Wars Name

Using this simple formula you can change your boring every day name to some racy Star Wars like name. There are several versions of this game, and here are only a few:

Star Wars Word Game 1

Take the first 3 letters of your first name. Then add the last 2 letters of your last name. Behold: your Star Wars first name! Now take the first 2 letters of your mother's maiden name. Add the first 3 letters of the city you were born in. Behold: your Star Wars last name!

Let's do a practice run. Suppose your name is Justin Bieber. Using this formula:

take the first 3 letters of your first name: J U S

add the last 2 letters of your last name: E R, giving JUSER

take the first two letters of your mother's maiden name. If that was Mallette, it would be: MA

If you were born in, say, Stratford, taking the first 3 letters gives you STR. This means your Star Wars last name is MASTR

Your complete Star Wars name is... JUSER MASTR. And guess which website you find when you search for " JUSER MASTR". Almost Juice Master, but not quite.

Star Wars Word Game 2

Here is another variation that George Lucas (allegedly) created to determine your Star Wars name. To determine your first name take the first 3 letters of your last name. Now add the first 2 letters of your first name. To contruct your last name, take the first 2 letters of your mother's maiden name. Add the first 3 letters of the town in which you were born. Let's work our magic on Justin Bieber again:

From Justin's last name we take the first 3 letters: BIE

Then we add the first 2 letters of his first name: JU and we get BIEJU

For the last name we take the first 2 letters of Justin's mother's maiden name (Mallete): MA

If we now add the first 3 letters of the town in which he was born (STR) and we end up with the last name MASTR (this gives the same last name as the first method)

Your Star Wars name using this method is BIEJU MASTR.

You get the idea. And once you've got the idea, you realise that you can make up your own variations on this theme.

To add some variety, you can start introducing some Star Wars titles like Darth, Grand or Obi Wan. How do the following sound?

Darth Juser Mastr

Grand Juser Mastr

Obi Wan Juser Mastr

Educational Value

"But how does this help teachers?", I hear you cry. Any time students are working with words, they're learning. You can never do too much word work/word play. You can use this game to reinforce the use of using capital letters in names.

George Lucas On Names

George Lucas had his own unique method for generating the names of Star Wars characters. According to Lucas

'Basically, I developed the names for the characters phonetically. I obviously wanted to telegraph a bit of the character in the name. The names needed to sound unusual but not spacey. I wanted to stay away from the kind of science fiction names like ZENON . . .. They had to sound indigenous and have consistency between their names and their culture.'

Darth Vader originates loosely from German and means, roughly translated, "Dark Father."

Anakin Skywalker's name is composed of the name for a race of giants in the book of Genesis (Anakin) and "Skywalker," in addition to the obvious space travel connotations, refers to a Norse god known for being a troublemaker.

Han Solo. Han is a derivative of John, a very common name. Solo is definitely linked to Han's "go-it-alone" philosophy. Could Lucas be striving for an association with Napoleon Solo in "The Man from Uncle"?

Chewbacca. One phrase that immediately springs to (my) mind is "chewing tobacco". Early cultural names refer to occupations or habits. Could we assume that one of Chewie's ancestors engaged in the habit of chewing tobacco?

Jar Jar Binks

By far one of the most interesting and controversial "Star Wars" characters is Jar Jar Binks. His language has a complete "grammar" and vocabulary.

Educational Value

And how does this help teachers? If you're studying any literature, the above gives alludes to the beginning of a great discussion about naming characters. An exploration of Jar Jar Binks' grammar is an interesting way to open discussion of grammar and vocabulary. Teachers wanting to spark interest and motivation may have fun with this. You coul also try creating your own "Star Wars" names for new fictional characters.

Odd Sentence Structure

Yoda, the great Jedi sage, uses unique sentence structure when he speaks. Here are a few quaotes that might have been uttered by Yoda - but which weren't:

In the force if Yoda's so strong, construct a sentence with words in the proper order then why can't he?

When 900 years old you reach, look as good, you will not.

Yoda of Borg are we: Futile is resistance. Assimilate you, we will.

Do you see what's going on here? Could you craete a few Yoda quotes yourself?

Educational Value

Yoda's unique sentence construction provides an interesting method for teaching sentence structure. A tough concept for kids to understand is sentence structure. A little analysis of Yoda's "method" should be helpful. If students have experience with a foreign language, you can commence a discussion about word order and sentence structure differences among various languages.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm looking forward to going back into the classroom this upcoming school year to teach middle school Digital Learning and Digital Video Production. This past week I went in and checked out my classroom. The lab is a total blank canvas just itching for me to decorate! In the Digital Learning lab we'll be focused on digital citizenship, basic troubleshooting, navigating resources effectively, and evaluating credible sources online. I felt like the room needed artwork that would refer to these topics, but of course with some geeky flair. So I started creating some of my own posters, mashing up my favorite Star Wars quotes with digital literacy concepts. I'm quite pleased with the results and thought other teachers out there would appreciate them, too!

I whipped up these posters using the free Star Jedi font by Boba Fonts and character art that I purchased and used with permission by IcemiloClipart on Etsy. The posters were created for fun and free personal classroom use only, and of course Star Wars characters are property of Lucasfilm LTD. There are ten posters total:

"I find your lack of privacy settings disturbing." (Vader)

"Not controlling your digital footprint? I have a bad feeling about this." (Leia)

"It's a trap!" (Beware of online scams) - Admiral Ackbar

"Beep bop boop." (Verifying credible sources is cool) - R2D2

These aren't the search results you're looking for. (Use effective search strategies for best results.) - C3P0 & R2D2

"The internet. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious." (Obi-Wan Kenobi)

"The internet is permanent. Search your feelings, you know it to be true." (Vader)

"Post that inappropriate photo online you will not." (Yoda)

"I love your troubleshooting skills." - "I know." (Leia and Han)

"Rrrrrrawwwrgh! Arrrrrghhh!" (I know you didn't just tag me in a photo without my permission!) - Chewbacca

You can grab the posters here. They are all full resolution/size JPG images (hosted on Google Photos now) that can be printed at 8.5″ x 11." I hope you enjoy them, and may the Force be with you in the upcoming school year!

Update 3/24/2017: The old link broke, so the download link above has been updated to provide access for downloading these again. Thanks for letting me know!

Update 7/27/2018: The link above should go to a Google Photos album and works fine when I have family & friends test - but I just re-generated the share link just in case: try this one, too.
