Supplies

- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Green marker
- Baby Yoda template (unlock the image at the end of the post to go to the download page)
Directions
Start by downloading the Baby Yoda template, print it out, and cut out the pieces you’ll need.

Begin by gluing Grogu’s eyes in the middle of his head, right between the forehead wrinkles and his little mouth.

Grab a green marker and draw a tiny nose just beneath his eyes in the center of his face.

Next, take the inner ear pieces and glue them to the bottom of each ear. If there’s any extra paper hanging off, trim it down.

Glue Grogu’s coat to his body, placing it just under his mouth.

Add the coat collar to the top of the coat and glue it in place.

It’s time to add some buttons! Position the three buttons down the center of his coat and glue them securely.

Finish up by gluing the icing decoration to the bottom of Grogu’s legs. If any paper sticks out, give it a quick trim.

That’s it! Isn’t this such a cute and festive Star Wars craft?!

Hi! I just checked your email and it’s listed as “unconfirmed” which means you didn’t click the link in the first email. If you didn’t see it, my best guess is it landed in your junk folder. If you can check that folder for my email (sam@simpleeverydaymom.com) and click the link, you’ll be set ◡̈
