I like Ewoks; I love porgs.  These are the snuggly creatures keep the rogue Luke Skywalker company on the hilly island in The Last Jedi.  To celebrate the release of The Last Jedi on blu-ray, make paper plate porgs.  They’re an adorable and easy Star Wars craft to make with your little Jedis.

My friend Patrick scored us opening day tickets to see The Last Jedi at like midnight.  Maybe it’s because it was waaay past my bedtime, but I wanted to snuggle up with those porgs as soon as they waddled onto the screen.  The feeling was pretty mutual with my three daughters also.  My then 3-year-old became obsessed.  Every time we walked past a porg in a store she had to stop to give him a little squeeze.  Thankfully, she got one of her own for Christmas.

To celebrate The Last Jedi being available to watch again and again at home, we needed a craft.  With a paper plate craft, we didn’t need to worry about Chewbacca getting a hold of these porgs.

Paper Plate Porgs: A Star Wars Craft

Materials Needed:

• Paper plates
• Paint (grey and orange)
• Construction paper (black, white, and orange)
• Black pipe cleaners

Other supplies needed:

• Scissors
• Glue
• Stapler

I actually had everything on hand for this one. All that hoarding  careful collecting really paid off!  So I was ready to get crafting with my littles.

Instructions:

As you get started, it’s important to note that you don’t need to be precise.  Each of my kids made their feet a little differently, and the painting isn’t perfect.  There’s personality in those little adjustments.  Start by folding in the right and left sides of the paper plate.  Next, fold the top down.  Secure the folds with staples.  You’ll be covering these so your porg will be pretty. Don’t worry!

Paint the right and left grey.  In the middle section, you’ll leave a section white while painting two oval-y pie pieces.  Yup, oval-y.  We are very technical here in Clementine County.  Next paint a small grey semicircle right in the middle.

Using construction paper, cut out large black ovals and smaller white ovals for the eyes.  You’ll also need orange feet.

Cut your pipe cleaner into thirds.  Form each into a U-shape.

Adhere your eyes, feet, and mouth to the porg.

It’s a simple craft that brings a little extra fun to our release day.  If you haven’t seen The Last Jedi, you’ll want to grab it on blu-ray today.
