Disney recently announced that the newest Star Wars movie, The Rise of Skywalker would be released on Disney+ early. Apprioately the film will be made available on May 4th. You don't have to be an avid Star Wars fan to understand the pun here. Much like April 30th is It's Gonna be May Day, the 4th of May has become Star Wars Day and the proper greeting or farewell is May the 4th Be with You. This day became so widespread that it was even referenced in an episode of The Big Bang Theory. To celebrate, here are all the Star Wars crafts, activities, games and treats you need to have an EPIC all-day Star Wars binge-party. The order in which you decide to watch the films is entirely up to you. Star Wars Day Crafts, Activities and Treats; May the 4th Be With You May the 4th Be With You: Star Wars CraftsThis craft is great for toddlers and preschoolers. All they'll need is a little help in the printing and cutting department but then I say let them assemble this Star Wars Inspired R2-D2 Craft from Mama Likes This, themselves!
