How to make Star Wars X-Wing crayon party favors
One of our favorite little Jedis celebrated his fifth birthday recently and we wanted to make something fun for his goodie bags. We found this post about making recycled crayons into X-Wing shapes and decided to give it a go. Our crayons are made with solid primary colors for the preschool set, but you could […]
Top Ten Star Wars Hot Wheels
We have to admit that when we were growing up we weren’t that into toy cars (unless you count our amazing Charlie’s Angels van). Things would have been different if Hot Wheels had made these in the 70s. Luckily for our kids, they are available now. Predictably, our list is heavy on droids, heroes and Leia […]

Star Wars Card Trading for Kids – Expert Tips to Get Started
What is more exciting and full of possibilities than an unopened pack of trading cards? Not much. We loved trading Star Wars cards as kids and the bug seems to have bitten all of our little Jedis. We know that the world of trading cards has changed a bit since the seventies and eighties, so […]
Just Ewok It (or How to Make Anything Into an Ewok)
Last week Disney released the new Star Wars Tsum Tsums. They are predictably adorable and we immediately ran out to pick up a couple.
