A Simple DIY Death Star Paper Plate Craft All Kids Can Do

Inside: Make this easy DIY Death Star paper plate craft with all the kids! It’s simple, fun and uses common art supplies.

If you’re anything like me, you’re always looking for easy kids crafts and activities that are Star Wars themed.

Over time, we’ve created some pretty fun Star Wars printable activities for kids, but there are always times when my boys are bored and need something new to do.

We had a giant stack of paper plates sitting in our pantry, so I decided to make this easy Death Star paper plate craft.

What I love about this activity is the simplicity of it.

You could honestly do it with a toddler (although I’m sure it wouldn’t look quite like the ones in the picture 😉 ) and with older kids as well.

All your kids need to be able to do is hold a paintbrush and know how to use glue. If you’re doing this activity with younger kids you can have all the pieces pre-cut and ready to glue.

Read on to learn how to do this simple Star Wars craft at home with your children.
