Our family loves Star Wars. So a couple of years ago when we heard about “May the 4th” be with you we were pretty excited to celebrate. So much for fun for the whole family. I wanted to share some fun ways to celebrate this fun day. You can choose one thing to make May the 4th special or go all out. Either way your family will love these little things that make the day extra special!

Star Wars Pancakes:
I heard about these bad boys and had to get them. Our kids love having Star Wars pancakes. And if I am in a real hurry, I just punch out my already made pancake with the molds. I have a different set but I am thinking we might need to get these ones as well. If you need tips on using pancake molds check out this post.
Star Wars Sandwiches:
My friend gave us this for a present. And we use quite a bit. But it’s a must to make sandwiches into Tie Fighters on May the 4th. My kids are pretty good at eating the crust first. Jedi’s don’t waste food in our house.
Star Wars Cookies:
Last year we got together with friends and had dinner. Afterwards we make cookies and decorated them together. I really wish we could get together again this year. I have seen some really cute cookie tutorial videos that I should really try some day. We usually make Star Wars cookies at Christmas too. I love using green sprinkles to decorate Yoda. I am so thankful for my client/friend who got me these for a Christmas present years and years ago. We use them again and again…
Star Wars Cookbook:
This book is a must for any Star Wars lover. The pictures alone are amazing (click the link and you can see some of them) !!! My kids read this thing for hours. All the recipes are really kid friendly. One of my boys favorite times is when Grady got together with another Dad and his son and they made Star Wars food. Wookie Cookies, Hoth Chocolate, & Han-burgers. Really fun recipes. Perfect for parties or really any occasion.
And there is a new one here that looks perfect for summer!!!
Star Wars Jell-O Molds:
I just found this at Walmart a couple weeks ago when I was working on Gandalf’s Percy Jackson Party. I picked them up. I am hoping my kids have forgotten about it and I can surprise them on the 4th. I will have to make some sugar free ones for Draco. I love when we can have zero carbs treats for him too! You can try Walmart or it’s also available on Amazon.
Star Wars ABC Book:
Force Awakens DVD:
If you haven’t seen the newest Star Wars movie, now is the time. Our family just got it last month and we loved watching it again! My daughter was finally able to watch it! She loved it! But I think Princess Leia is still her favorite.
Star Wars Hair Style
May the 4th is the perfect time to style your hair, or your daughter’s, after your favorite Star Wars character. You can click on my Rey Hairstyle Tutorial or sport Princess Leia buns. Either way you can let everyone know it’s May the 4th…
Make a Jedi Robe:
This dress up staple is worn in our home all the time. It also doubles as a shepherd costume for a nativity. They are really simple to sew. So if you have been wanting to make one, know is your chance. Or you could just order one.
Chewbacca Softie:
May the Fourth Be With You….
