I really want to share this super easy Star Wars themed craft I made for a birthday party. This is really great for kids. Even kids that don’t like Star Wars, because Ewoks are cute! The idea is that I had different colors and styles for kids to mix and match as they put their own Ewok together.
To make the craft, first I sketched out a basic Ewok body and hood design.
I used this template design to cut out the bodies from brown construction paper, and then I used about 6 different colors to cut out the hoods. I had these big sheets of construction paper; I’d stack about 4 at a time and use an exact-o craft knife to cut. This made it a lot easier.
I cut little noses from black paper, various triangles and circles for them to pick from. I also got a few bags of googly eyes, a pack of glue sticks, and a few boxes of thin markers.
When I set out the station, I made one example Ewok to show the kids, had the bodies, hoods, googly eyes, different noses, glue sticks, various colors of construction paper sheets for backgrounds, and markers.
(My example Ewok got a little beaten up from all the kids playing with it, so you might want to make several examples to pass around! Still cute though!)
I didn’t want it to be too complicated because of the age of the kids attending the party. However, for older kids or when you’re just crafting with a smaller number of children at home, you can always add extra accessories. For example, some little spears made out of pipe cleaners, forest elements to add to the background, or some little belts. There are a lot of options, which makes it a really great craft.
