My son is a huge fan of the Star Wars universe and has been planning how to spend May the 4th for a few weeks. Over the last few days he’s enjoyed a glass of blue milk, made BB8 pancakes and even encased his Hans Solo figure in jelly. We had grand plans to make a special Star Wars Day cake but unfortunately it didn’t work as planned. We also decorated the house for Star Wars Day. We hung Star Wars figures on a little tree in our living room and put our Star Wars Day wreath up. We wanted…
Disclosure – collaborative post With May the Fourth (aka Star Wars Day) on the horizon next month we are looking forward to having something to celebrate. My son is the biggest Star Wars fans and has been re-watching all his favourite Star Wars films whilst we’ve been staying safe at home during the pandemic. We’ve been planning a trip to Disneyland for ages and although it’s not going to happen this year, hopefully we will be able to go soon. We’ve been looking around for the best Disneyland Paris Tickets and had planned a lovely few days exploring the park,…
We love Baby Yoda! We’ve already shared our Baby Yoda colouring sheet which my children just loved. Baby Yoda features in The Mandalorian, the latest Star Wars series which we can’t wait to watch.

Easy Baby Yoda painted rocks We used: Bag of smooth pebbles or rocks Selection of posca pens Varnish to seal the painted rocks (we use Wilko Gloss Yacht Varnish) Everyone loves Baby Yoda so we all had a go at designing our own Baby Yoda figures on the…
My son and husband are huge Star Wars fans. We all loved the latest Star Wars film, Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker when we watched it last week. This was the first year my son didn’t ask for a Star Wars Lego set for Christmas which made me feel a bit sad, although he did buy a small Mandalorian Lego set. We can’t wait to watch The Mandalorian when it comes to the UK via Disney+ this March. According to an Instagram post from John Favreau, writer and director, the series is set between the end of…
Have you watched Solo: A Star Wars Story yet? The idea behind Solo: A Star Wars Story is that through a series of daring escapades, young Han Solo meets his future co-pilot Chewbacca and encounters the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian. We had a rare date night and were able to go and watch it *without* the children. They are both huge Star Wars fans so I know we will go and see it again with them soon. It was a great film, so much fun, and we loved finding out more about how Han Solo got the Millennium Falcon! Hasbro kindly…
My children are huge Star Wars fans but I have to be honest, when the chance came to go and watch the latest Star Wars film, us adults went alone! We’ll take them to go and see Solo: A Star Wars Story soon but it was so lovely watching it without interruption! Anyway, the whole fans love the Star Wars world so I couldn’t resist the chance to try out the new Star Wars Bladebuilders Force Master Lightsaber from Hasbro. The 8 year old has a few different lightsabers to play, including the Star Wars BladeBuilders Spin-Action Lightsaber, with so the 6 year…

Solo: A Star Wars Story is released on the 25th May in the UK. We’ve already seen the trailer and can’t wait to watch the film. Secretly we’re hoping it’s better than The Last Jedi which seems to have killed off my son’s love of Star Wars! The idea behind Solo: A Star Wars Story is that through a series of daring escapades, young Han Solo meets his future co-pilot Chewbacca and encounters the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian. We love Chewie so are really looking forward to seeing him in this film, as well as learning more about how Han…
