Star Wars books for 7 year old

Star Wars Reads 2017

Posted on April 20, 2017 by jenny

Now in its sixth year, Star Wars Reads, a celebration of Star Wars and reading, has returned with a month-long campaign throughout April. Last year I wrote a post about my son. The only books he would read were Star Wars related, with a few Angry Birds and Minecraft books thrown into the mix. I really thought a year…

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…

Star Wars Identities at the O2 London

Posted on April 8, 2017April 9, 2023 by jenny

My son received tickets to go and see Star Wars Identities at the O2 London. He’s a huge Star Wars fan, we all are, so thought it would make a great trip during the Easter holidays. We planned a day out, travelling by tube, seeing the exhibition and coming part of the way back by river…

Posted on April 6, 2017April 6, 2017 by jenny

Our whole household loves Star Wars so I wanted to make some Star Wars themed art for the walls. We’ve recently re-arranged the pictures in our living room so it felt like a good time to make something to hang alongside our Pez Dispenser frame and vintage type drawer. My husband and I are huge…

Sewing Star Wars felt toys

Posted on February 23, 2017February 24, 2017 by jenny

It feels like an age since I stitched something. Clothes alterations just don’t count although it does feel like I’m constantly stitching badges on my son’s Beaver uniform! Our whole family love Star Wars so when I spotted a Star Wars felt kit in the shops I knew it would make a great Christmas present…

Jyn Erso’s Death Star cookies

Posted on January 7, 2017April 21, 2020 by jenny

Having a 6 year old who is obsessed with Star Wars can be hard work. Since watching Rogue One and receiving lots of books about it at Christmas, means every time he opens his mouth he’s talking about Star Wars. I’ve seen the film too, and loved it. My children went back to school this…

Both my husband  and son love Star Wars. I’ve mentioned before that my 6 year old is obsessed with Star Wars and his Christmas list is pretty much all Star Wars lego sets, and new Rogue One toys. I wanted to introduce some Star Wars Christmas decorations this year and found some really fun Star…

I have been thinking about different ways for my children to play with their toys and I thought of combining their favourite Star Wars toys with our tuff spot.

#HartleysYourLunch Challenge

Star Wars bento lunch

Posted on August 12, 2016January 10, 2017 by jenny

I never used to think my 6 year old was a fussy eater. He is active and therefore hungry and used to eat anything I put before him. Over the last 12 months I have noticed him becoming fussier, especially with his school lunch. I’ve ended up making a packed lunch for him on Wednesday’s…
