May the Fourth Be With You!

If Star Wars’ Yoda was here with us, what do you think he would say about the times we’re living in?

“Difficult to see…always in motion is the future.”

Or maybe “Mind what you have learned. Save you it can.”

“Patience you must have.” is a good one.

Or perhaps one of my favourites…”Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.”

Yoda is wise and also very interesting…did you know…

• Yoda has no determined species…a mystery, it is. 🙂
• Depending on what movie you’re watching, Yoda has a different number of toes! Sometimes 4 and sometimes only 3.
• Yoda is 66 cm tall and weighs 17kg.
• “Baby Yoda” in The Mandalorian is just the same species as Yoda, not Yoda as a baby. Baby Yoda is only 50 years old and Yoda lived to be 900!
• There is a species of underwater acorn worm named after Yoda called Yoda purpurata.

And now to try your hand at making Origami Yoda! All you need is a piece of paper that you make into a square…no need for special origami paper.

May the fourth be strong in you…
