Celebrate May the Fourth at Home – Star Wars Activities at Home
Next week is the ultimate holiday for Star Wars fans – May the Fourth (aka Star Wars day). To gear up for May the Fourth, I put together a list of Star Wars activities at home to have a virtual May the Fourth celebration. You can find recipes, crafts, coloring pages, videos, things to watch on Disney+ and more:
Recipes & Cocktails
To go with any celebration, you need some themed food and drinks of course! I compiled some of my favorite Star Wars recipes from my blog and other blogs too!
- Wookie Cookies (a healthier banana oatmeal cookie topped with chocolate) from Disney Family
- Mando ice cream sandwiches from StarWars.com
- For something more savory, this ewok rice bowl on StarWars.com
- One of my favorite food art recipes I’ve created is this Porg-wich!
- And speaking of Porgs, these porg pudding parfaits from Disney Family are so adorable!
- For Christmas time I had created Baby Yoda cookies, and what better time to practice your food art skills than May the Fourth? You can find my recipe and tutorial here.
- Geeks Who Eat recently created this copycat recipe for a Yub Nub (a cocktail from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge) at home!
- From the blog This Fairytale Life this cocktail is too cute because it’s themed after Baby Yoda!
