6.75" Appetizer Plate: Star Wars- The Child, 4-pack
While they're technically appetizer plates, we think these The Child ($25) plates make a great kid-sized option, too! They are light weight which makes handling them a breeze, and they stack up easily, taking up less space than a traditional plate.
Baby Yoda is showing up everywhere. It’s no surprise he’s in our kitchens too, from snacks to green Frappuccinos.
Now Pyrex has introduced a new Baby Yoda themed glass container to store all of your “out of this world” treats.

Thea decorative storage container is made of tempered glass and features a smiling Baby Yoda enjoying one of his favorite snacks with phrases like “Snack! Please” and “Protect Attack Snack!”

You can use it to prep, bake, and store your food. To make it even better, the container is dishwasher, freezer, and microwave-safe.

Star Wars Baby Yoda Long John Pajamas In Organic Cotton
With a slate of family-friendly flicks at the newest pop-up drive-in and a dino-mite drive-thru experience coming to the Rose Bowl, we are so ready for 2021. And we’re hopeful that many of our favorite outdoor destinations (like the L.A. Zoo and Aquarium of the Pacific) will reopen in the coming weeks. Read on for all the fun things that we can’t wait to do in the year ahead, plus get tips for staying connected in the meantime.
While we're hopeful that many of our favorite annual LA events will be happening later on in the year, there are no guarantees. But we do at least know that the upcoming Jurassic Quest Drive-Thru is a go! The event will take place at Pasadena's Rose Bowl Stadium, from Jan. 15-Jan. 31. Tickets are already on sale for the hourlong experience, which features over 70 life-like, animatronic dinosaurs.
In January, The Little Mermaid, Cars, Toy Story 4 and more will be showing at LA's newest pop-up drive-in, Rooftop Cinemas at the Santa Monica Airport. If you haven't made it to a drive-in yet, don't miss this opportunity. Bring blankets and pillows, pop open your trunk and let the kids settle in for a throwback big-screen experience.
On Dec.7, the Los Angeles Zoo closed due to the latest Stay at Home orders. (It had reopened back in October, with time entries, limited capacity and additional safety guidelines in place.) The Zoo announced that it would be closed for a minimum of three weeks. We're hopeful that it will open at some point later in January or February of 2021. And we can't wait to meet this little baby langur monkey who is giving us major Baby Yoda vibes. Also new to the zoo? An itty-bitty California Condor chick.
As Angelenos, we're fortunate enough to be able to enjoy outdoor dining pretty much year-round. Although even dining al fresco at our favorite restaurants is off-limits for now. But when it's once again safe to do so, we'll be visiting our favorite kid-friendly outdoor patios at these LA restaurants.
Feed the Moon Jellyfish at Aquarium of the Pacific
Long Beach's Aquarium of the Pacific was one of the first destinations to reopen this summer. Even with the indoor areas of the Aquarium closed, there was still plenty to see outdoors, including a Moon Jelly Touch Lab is, Stingray Touch Pool and Lorikeet Forest. Like the L.A. Zoo, the Aquarium announced in early December that it would be closed for at least three weeks. Until it reopens, we'll be zoning out with the Aquarium's animal webcams—we dare you not to feel more relaxed after watching these jellyfish drifting in the water.
Leisure travel is restricted for now, so even our jaunt to a nearby cabin rental had to be postponed. Once we get the green light, we can't wait to road trip it outta town.
Cayton Children's Museum in Santa Monica put their weekly outdoor event, Cayton Creators, on pause at the beginning of December. But we're optimistic it will be back in the new year. Check here for updates.
We're feeling nostalgic for the iconic merry-go-round, which hasn't seen any riders since pre-pandemic days. While all the rides on the pier are also closed, the pier itself is at least open if you want to take a stroll along the historic landmark.
Old train cars to explore, lots of grass to run around, a mini locomotive to ride—this is toddler heaven and we can't wait for it to reopen. Until then, we'll be exploring the trails of Griffith Park (and beyond).
Make a Splash at Kidspace
One of our favorite museums for kids has been closed for way too long. As much as we love all the online content they're giving us, we can't wait to be there again IRL.
Have a Ball at an Indoor Playground
Let's be honest: Ball pits were already a germaphobes worst nightmare, even if kids can't get enough of them. Maybe one day when the pandemic is behind us, we'll be able to watch our little ones slide into a mass of plastic balls and only cringe a little.
The set comes with four plates featuring your favorite little green guy, Baby Yoda. Whip up a fun Star Wars themed appetizer for a Mandalorian binge session or use them every day to brighten up any meal.
There is also another Star Wars themed appetizer set combining some of your favorite characters including Chewbacca, Princess Leia and R2D2. It is the perfect collection for Jedi, Sith and bounty hunters alike.
The Child calls upon all kids to serve as his protector through countless imaginary adventures. Standing just 7.2-inches tall, The Child Animatronic Edition from Hasbro features more than 25 sound and motion combinations that kids can activate by touching the top of his head. This “Baby Yoda” emotes with sounds of excitement and laughter while giggling and babbling in sweet baby talk. One of the coolest features is that the little one’s ears move! And, yes, kids will get to see The Child “do the magic hand thing” just like he does on the show! And, after The Child raises his arm and closes his eyes to put all of his might into using his Force abilities, he lets out a sigh as if he’s just spent. Then it’s time for a “Force nap.”

A year ago, no one would’ve ever guessed that “Baby Yoda” would even exist, much less unite fans of Star Wars and non-fans alike. Don’t let the “plush” in the name fool you: The Child 11-inch Vinyl Head Plush is more akin to a baby doll. Mattel’s lovable depiction of the breakout star of Star Wars: The Mandalorian has a sculpted, soft vinyl head and hands with eyes that really give off an emotive look — almost a reflection of childlike wonder. The body is soft but with some heft to it thanks to a bean-weighted base to help it stand. The Child can be cuddled by kids or displayed by collectors.
