You may know by now that our family is pretty big into Star Wars. We’ve had a lot of fun reintroducing the Star Wars saga to our kids with the release of The Force Awakens, giving us an opportunity to re-watch episodes I-VI, talk about the characters, and just have a lot of Star Wars fun with the kids. This week is kind of a big celebration for Star Wars fans with May the 4th, also known as Star Wars Day! Not one to lose an opportunity to share the Star Wars fun for kids with you, I put together some ideas for ways you and the family can celebrate Star Wars Day and geek out on May the 4th!
