Ever since the Mandalorian was released, Baby Yoda has been my kids’ favorite toy!
They carry the little green guy everywhere and even though we now know his name is Grogu, they still only call him Baby Yoda. Oh, well!
If your children or students love Baby Yoda as much, you’ll have to make this Baby Yoda headband craft with them. It’s simple, fun, and a perfect Star Wars craft for May the 4th!
Watch our quick video tutorial, then download the free printable template to make it this year.
Baby Yoda Headband
Supplies
- Colored cardstock or construction paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- Tape
- Markers or crayons (if using the color in version)
- Baby Yoda template (enter your email in the form at the end of this post to have the link sent to you)
Directions
Download the Yoda template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
Glue the eyes, one on each side, in between the two wrinkles.
Place the nose just below the nose wrinkle and glue it in place.
Position the pink inner ears so they line up with the head and so that the bottom of them hang off the ear. Glue them in place, then trim off the excess paper.
Create the mouth by gluing the tongue to the bottom part of the mouth. Trim off the excess paper with the scissors.
Take the completed mouth and glue it slightly below the nose, in the middle of the headband.
Attach the headband extenders by taping one on each side of the base of the headband.
We’re certain your kids are not only going to love creating this Baby Yoda headband, but also wearing it!
It’s perfect for the Star Wars fan or for a Baby Yoda themed birthday party!

Books are a great way to get even further into a theme! On top of that, reading to kids helps them develop a stronger vocabulary and helps them learn to focus. It’s a win-win situation! Try out some of these cool books about space:
This Is The Way- For years and years, kids have loved reading Little Golden Books. Now The Mandalorian has its very own one! Kids will love reading all about Baby Yoda’s adventures!
