14 Princess Leia crafts and activities for kids

The release of the new trailer for Star Wars Episode VIII yesterday got us all excited for the new film. Let’s ignore the fact we still have to wait another 8 months. I’m sure it will go in a flash! Our whole family loves all things Star War so I thought I would bring together my favourite Princess Leia crafts.

Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan, later known as General Leia Organa, was one of the original Star Wars characters. Played by the late Carrie Fisher I’m glad she had finished filming Episode VIII but sad to hear she won’t be appearing in Episode IX.

Princess Leia is a great icon and there are some brilliant crafts which celebrate her clothes, her personality and of course, her amazing hairstyles. Here are my favourite 14 Princess Leia crafts and activities for kids – perfect for celebrating Star Wars Day, Carrie Fisher or just the awesomeness that is Star Wars.
