Star Wars: Yoda Craft

I am designating today as a Star Wars themed craft day, because Star Wars: Episode VII is a month away from coming out in theaters!

This is a slightly labor intensive craft that you can do with the kids, and they will have a blast playing with them after. Or if they won't, I will and then my pets will have to endure it [cue the maniacal laughter]. Because there is no better playmate than a embarrassed pet that you have forced into dressing up for the sake of play, said the vegetarian...
