Star Wars Repurposed Milk Carton Kids Craft

Easy kids crafts are perfect for keeping them busy during the summer! This Star Wars repurposed craft is easy and fun if you have a little boy like me!

Yesterday, I wrote the following paragraph about our summer on my Facebook Page. Many of you felt my pain…

“My son is attacking an empty milk bottle with his Nerf gun while foam bullets hit me in the head and my daughter is singing at the top of her lungs yelling “What’s funny?” in between verses. Going to find some Asprin now:-) How is your summer going?”

After the Nerf gun, my Star Wars loving son got out his light saber and went nutso on the milk carton. At that point, and after getting rid of my headache, it was pretty comical.

I decided he needed an enemy to attack. He thought that was the best idea ever. So I carefully drew a Storm Trooper on the milk carton with a permanent marker.

It couldn’t be just any Star Wars storm trooper, but one that he specifically picked out. He would be featured on my blog, so it must be the BEST!

Please enjoy his posing. He worked hard on these! It was important to get each pose correct for all of the die hard Star Wars fans. Because you know George Lucas himself could see this.

Then he carefully set the enemy on the ottoman.

And did this.

And this… as I dodged a milk carton to the head.

This entertained him for a while.

It ended up being a fun afternoon after all. Now we’ll be saving milk cartons to make an army of Storm Troopers!

Maybe we’ll make these Star Wars Cakes next.

What have your kids been doing this summer?
