Star Wars Lunch Bag: A description

Star Wars Lunch Bag: A description

Star Wars lunch bags were something I started for my eldest son when he began Summer Camp in 2009. It was something special that I could do for him each day. It also acted as an ice-breaker, a conversation piece between my son, the camp staff and the other campers. Now, I've got two boys in camp, so it's double the quota. Each night I draw up pictures, usually something "Star Wars-y" on the next day's lunch bags. It can be any thing: a ship, a character, a mash-up, or whatever ( I do take requests.) It's something fun for them to discover each morning. And, it's a reminder of me, their Dad, when they are off having fun at camp.
In years past, most of the bags were kept by the camp staff. But, so far this year, the boys have been bringing them home to keep for themselves.

Some of the bags turn out fairly decent. And others, perhaps, not as successful or artistically satisfying. But, in the end, it's all for fun - theirs... and mine.

THIS IS LUKE AND LEIA - Lunch-bag - 2012

Another Pilkey-inspired lunch-bag. What can I say? They are just fun to do. And as long as it makes the boys laugh, or smile at the silly drawings, all is worth it. But, before I can tell you that story, I have to tell you this story...
Occasionally, I have to explain the references and pronunciation with a lunch-bag like this, 'cause the boys are more used to watching the Clone Wars show, the Ewok Specials and the LEGO shorts than the original films. I'll have to work on that.
