A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away I watched my first Star Wars film and fell in love. Now my son Luke (of course) is 8 and he is as a big a fan as his mum and dad are. As the Force has been awakened, why not turn your child's drawing into a unique gift?

Why are our kids so in love with the Star Wars saga? A lot of them are so much younger than we were seeing the films, most are obsessed with Darth Vader. Luke is still desperately trying to work out how Vader could be Luke's father.
With so much excitement, I wanted to share some of my favourite Star Wars drawings that I have been sent and turned into some amazing gifts. I love them all, but here are a few...
This is the first Star Wars t-shirt I printed, I love how happy and jaunty Darth Vader looks ...
Then there was this Vader...
Vader looking more sinister...
The best Yoda...
Adorable drawing by Harriet, age 6 for her daddy's birthday...
And this most recent and extraordinary drawing by Alex, age 12.
Hope all you Star Wars fans enjoy the next film, we can't wait! x
]]>My son loves drawing and cars, how perfect is this idea bringing the two together? Just tape a crayon or pen to their favourite toys on wheels and see what happens...
Another favourite, how about a hand dinosaur or a sea monster? Add legs, tentacles and googly eyes for extra scariness...
How do our children see themselves? This is a great way to get them to really look at their features by creating a symmetry self-portrait with a photo...
Soon our 'Indian Summer' will sadly end, but we could cheer ourselves up collecting leaves and studying their textures and shapes...
The more random the better! Great for colouring in after as well...
Hope these ideas inspire you and your little Picasso's to have some fun, please add any ideas you have for me to share too!
