Color-Your-Own Star Wars Themed Weeble Wobble-type Craft - May the 4th be With You

I pulled up a craft from our past (homemade weeble wobble-type toys) to combine with a Star Wars themed tutorial from Frugal Fun for Boys, as a craft for tomorrow's festivities (May the 4th be with you).

To start, I turned a few of our left-over plastic eggs into blank, weeble wobbly type guys (they wobble around but don't fall down - like their name sake), by filling the bottom of the eggs with non-drying clay...

...snapping them closed, and covering them paper mache-style in a couple of layers (first newspaper, and then white) of paper strips dipped in watered down glue, smoothing the paper out as much as possible while it was still wet.

I left them to dry (turning them over a few times) balanced on top of an egg carton.

When they were completely dry, I penciled an outline of our favorite Star Wars characters onto each wobbly egg (following the Frugal Fun for Boys patterns) for the children to use as a guide, and placed them out on the counter with a pack of permanent markers (for ease of coloring, and so the color won't come off on hands once dry)...

...ready to be part of tomorrows fun.
