Okay, you guys caught me. I am a sci-fi nerd and I love Star Wars movies. Yes, I was one of the crazy people who stood in line for hours to get tickets to the new movies and had a blast doing so. My kids, on the other hand, were not as into Star Wars until the Star Wars Angry Birds app came out. They are both huge Angry Birds fans and, to this day, if Liam seems someone with their cell phone, he always, always asks them if they have Angry Birds. In his opinion, it is a must-have game and both Josiah and I agree. We've wasted many hours playing those games. Then, out came Angry Birds Star Wars and the game obsession came back with a bang. Josiah absolutely loves the Star Wars Angry Birds and even has stuffed animals and t-shirts.
Since the app came out, he has been much more interested in Star Wars, so when I told him today was Star Wars Day, he immediately got out his sword (pretending it was a lightsaber) and said he was Luke Skywalker. It's the perfect day to celebrate being May 4th and all because we can say "May The Fourth Be With You"!
We received two awesome Star Wars Angry Birds items to review and you should have seen Josiah's eyes when he opened the box and saw them. We received the Millennium Falcon Bounce Game and a Luke Skywalker Foam Flyers and they were immediately in play when we got them in the mail.
The game was very easy to set up and Josiah was flinging the balls everywhere. We have hardwood floors, so the balls were bouncing super high. His brother thought this was hilarious, though, so we were all having a great time. Once we started bouncing lightly, we had more success. All and all, this is a fun game and I know the kids will want to continue playing it. They especially love the balls since they are adorned with the Star Wars Angry Birds characters.
The Luke Skywalker Foam Flyer was automatically claimed by Liam and has since resided in his backpack. This foam ball is soft and they boys have been playing with it indoors during the rainy days this week. This will be fun for outdoors and the beach, too! I have a feeling this will be played with often during the summer months!
