Overheard from the front seat, where I was driving along minding my own business… and only Boy Detective was in the back. Or so I thought.
Boy Detective: You can’t just say you want to invent something and have it happen. It takes lots and lots of stuff.
Fortune Wookiee: HGNRL!
Boy Detective, skeptical: How could you make a magic wand out of tortillas, a ruby, and a battery pack?
Fortune Wookiee: HGNRL!
Boy Detective, tentatively: Maybe if you left out the tortillas?
I’m sorry the photo is so blurry. Have you ever tried to take a picture of a fortune wookiee? It’s harder than it looks. But the Origami Yoda series has taken over our house!
(Just a heads up that my book posts use affiliate links, but check your local library too!)
This is so cute! What a fun project for the kiddos!
So cute. I remember playing this when I was younger.
That’s cute! This seems like a great rainy day project.
Jenn and Megan, you’re so right, this series of books has kept us both from flipping out when he was sick all week and missed school. There are so many tiny paper Yodas in my house that I do not know what to do, but I’m so grateful he had something he was so interested in.
Brandi, I was surprised at how easy it was for me to fold these things, the muscle memory just came right back from when I was a kid!
I LOVED these as a kid!
How seriously cute is this! AND they’re reading! Way to go Mom!
I am so glad that my wife preserves the completely hilarious stuff my kid says when I’m not around.
Fun! I have made fortune cookies, but not “wookies” ;)
Jena, I’m impressed you’ve made fortune cookies, that seems like it would be hard!
Ronda,yep, I have lost count of how many times he’s pored over these books.
Gina, the only difference between these and when we were kids is that the fortune wookie only answers your questions in wookie language… so none of us have a clue what the answer to our question really is! :)
C-Man, babe, I do what I can!
This is cute. I just pinned it to show my 7 year old. He loves Star Wars!
How cute! I know this was made for children, but as a Star Wars geek, I want one for myself. :)
Andrea, don’t say that too loud near my kid, or you’ll have more Star Wars origami than you know what to do with!
Makasha, that’s just the right age to get addicted, be careful… :)
That is adorable! I love how children’s minds and imaginations work! :)
My son is loving this whole series right now and he is so excited for the new Emperor Pickeltine or something like that! :)
How adorable!! :)
I feel like I’m out of the loop since I don’t have children, but this looks cute!
So fun! I’ll definitely have to remember this for when I am a counselor at Girl Scout camp next year :)
xo,
Marissa
Michelle, yep Pickletine is where it’s at. Just wait until he tries to convince you he needs a real pickle for authenticity.
I’m still just wondering where they’re going to get a ruby…
Oh man taking me back today! I loved those when I was a kid – i cant wait to check this out.
