Star Wars Craft for Kids – X Wing

Star Wars Craft for Kids – X Wing

We made this Easy Star Wars Craft for Kids! I love that my kiddos can play with an X Wing Fighter with their Star Wars toys. So fun! Make one too. Plus, enjoy a Princess Leia and R2D2 coloring page.

We are big Star Wars fans in our house.

Don’t believe me? We have done some pretty cool crafts on Instagram. We have made:

  • Cardboard Tube Light Sabers,
  • Darth Vadar Shirts,
  • a Millennium Falcon out of a cardboard tube and cereal box
  • and a Darth Vadar Card.

We build legos into Star Wars ships all the time. We have Star Wars books in our mini library. Movies. Puzzles. Toys. We love it!

So, of course, we had to make another Star Wars craft.

My son still is playing with the Millennium Falcon we made almost a year ago. So, he took pretty great care of it.  When I asked him what we should make, he said an X Wing Fighter.

I had to use some brain activity for this one. But, I came up with a simple solution. All you need is a cardboard tube, jumbo craft sticks, paint and a knife. BAM! X Wing Fighter.

Read on for the instructions and a FREE Star Wars Coloring Page.

Flower Roll to Fill Counting Game

Flower Roll to Fill Counting Game

We made some craft flowers and picked some flowers from our backyard for this Roll to Fill Counting Game. It’s so simple to setup and my daughter loved it so much! Play it too! Plus, free number flashcards! Yay!

My daughter (almost 3yo) is more into learning numbers than she is letters. One day she just decided to point to some numbers and ask me what they were.

And she sure loves to count. I am so awestruck that she can count to 13.

Maybe she is going to be really awesome at math. I don’t know.

So, today, I decided to combine a few of her favorite things (flowers, numbers and sticking things in buckets).

She wanted to play this game over and over and over again. So, it was a hit at our house.

I, of course, had to make some craft flowers with her. But, you can totally skip that part and just use real flowers like we did too. Or cut some off an artificial bouquet. Heck! Combine all three (craft, real and artificial) and make it a sensory activity too.

And what’s great about this game is you don’t have to use flowers. It can be whatever your preschooler is into (cars, blocks, balls, puzzle pieces, crayons, the list can go on forever).

Pick what interests your preschooler, and the game will keep going. Yay!

50 Earth Day Crafts Using Recycled Materials

50 Earth Day Crafts Using Recycled Materials

Earth Day is coming up! So, we gathered a list of 50 Earth Day Crafts Using Recycled Materials to do! They’re so fun! It also includes activities! Earth Day or any day will surely be a hit. So, save up those recycled materials!

Earth Day is April 22nd. So, we have been starting the Earth Day fun with some crafts and activities.

See our last post: Earth Day Craft for Preschoolers with Free E is for Earth Printable

I have been reviewing what helps the planet we live on with my kiddos. Like conserving water, planting plants, riding a bike, and recycling (to name a few).

We might just go pick up trash around a neighborhood. I remember doing that on Earth Day in my younger years.

It definitely helps with creating a sense of responsibility for our planet.

My kiddos got real excited about the recycling part. My son said, “Oh, like how we make crafts out of toilet paper rolls and cereal boxes all the time?”

Well, yes son. Yes.

So, of course, I had to share some awesome recycled-material crafts and activities. Below there will be some of mine and some from other amazing craft bloggers. This list will keep you busy for awhile.

Read on for 50 Earth Day Crafts Using Recycled Materials.

Valentine’s Day Games for Toddlers

Valentine’s Day Games for Toddlers

We have been playing Valentine’s Day Games for Toddlers all day. Including Tic Tac Toe and 5 other games! It’s so simple to make!

We have been seeing a lot of hearts lately. We have seen them at Target, the grocery store, up on store windows; they’re everywhere.

So, I put up a few Valentine’s Day decorations on our mantel to get a little festive. My kiddos love the decorations! They were so sad about Christmas being over and all the decorations getting put away. So, this was a nice way to get over those blues.

I’ve been trying to figure out a few games to play to get my kiddos excited about Valentine’s Day. So, I made some quick little hearts that can be used for a few games!

Whoo hoo! I love when I can use a 10-minute project multiple times!

I hope you have as much fun as we did!
