We homeschool on an alternative schedule and have been on break the last few months. Taryn spent a chunk of that time creating this DIY Star Wars Mandalorian costume. The entire thing, even the helmet, is created with cardboard! I’m so impressed with her, the detail is really amazing right down to the intentional dents – it was so much work! She even made the blaster and carved the knife herself. Her costume is based on a character named Vhipir.
Dear new homeschoolers everywhere:
Long time homeschoolers are bored out of their minds too. This is not how this usually works. We miss parks, museums and the adventures that usually come along with the freedom of learning outside of a classroom. Please don’t judge us too harshly when this feels miserable. We are struggling for the same reasons too. Long live craft projects that keep kids busy for a whole 10 minutes! Today that looked like peanut butter, birdseed and pinecone bird feeders thanks to my mom.
My mom is an artist – that means we have almost unlimited craft supplies at our disposal while we are here! 🙌🏻 My crafty crew loves it! We’ve been painting rocks to hide while we are out on the road this year. Here are a few favorites I created this morning. It’ll be fun to use the #lifeinmotionrocks hashtag and see who finds them and where they end up! Have you ever found a painted rock? Did you keep it or move it and re-hide it? We love finding painted rocks during our adventures!
