Oh no…the star wars party!!
I just realized I was going to post my son’s Star Wars party and never did. So sorry. I know you’ve been lying in bed at night wondering…waiting…hoping…wishing you could wake up to my post on this party. Well. Let me start by saying….me…not so excited about doing a Star Wars party…but I ended up having a great time planning it and an even better time watching my little Jedi beam all day. He was so happy and full of pure joy the entire time. His friends also had a great time.
My goal was to make it super fun, creative and NOT canned….and trust me…that is exactly what you’ll find out there when trying to throw a Star Wars party….it’s mostly a bunch of …pardon me…crap! There are yoda erasers and plastic disks with a stickers on them that don’t actually work…and other mindless ….ahem…crap! Soooooo cut to…Ryan Larson cutting, sewing, sweating, gluing, yawning…..and voila! Take a look:
-
- Jedi robes for all of the kids…even tini tiny ones for the toddlers.
-
- I printed their Jedi Training Mission on their bags for the Darth Vader Pinata goodies.
-
- Yes, I made a 7ft. by 7ft. Millennium Falcon Cockpit Window.
-
- Props for photo backdrop. Complete with Princess Leia bagels on a head band.
-
- Kristen’s little Jedi’s with the 6ft. C3P0 and R2D2
-
- Jedi Master telling the young Padiwans their next challenge. (those are the lights sabers we had the kids make when they arrived)
-
- Happy boy.
Also, here is the wording we used for the mission bags in case you are interested…feel free to copy!!!
Jedi Training Challenges
Do or do not. There is no try. – Yoda
ð Adorn the proper Jedi attire. (I made Jedi robes…I found the idea for how to make them on a moms blog somewhere on the internet but I havnt found it again…however it was brown felt, no sewing..and yarn belt)
ð Make a true light saber. (I found cardboard tubes at a fabric store from fabric rolls and taped the “handles” with grey duct tape and let them put their choice color of construction paper on the tubes)
ð Fly Han’s Solos spaceship with C3P0 & R2D2 (cockpit window/photo backdrop)
ð Form your battle plan. (coloring pages)
ð Learn the Jedi way from a Jedi Master. (we had a Jedi come for an hour)
ð Destroy the death star. (they had to use a water gun on a paper death star I made with a spot of paint that ran down the page when hit)
Jedi Training is complete. But the real test is yet to come. Young Jedi, your mission is to destroy darth vader. (this was a Darth Vader head pinata)
ð Vader has been defeated.
THE JEDI ARE VICTORIOUS.
