R2-D2

R2 is famous for his beeps and boops for his form of communication. With the R2-D2 translator you can enter a message and have it translated to be spoken by R2-D2. From there you can download the mp3 of whatever message you want and you can add it to your ringtone or for anything else you would do with an mp3 file.

If you have trouble entering text into the translator, try copy and pasting your message from a word document.

Have fun!

It's easy, just print out this PDF File

1. Print out the Droidel PDF and glue it to a thin piece of cardstock or cardboard like from a cereal box

2. Once the glue is dry, have an adult carefully cut it out along the edges (including the flaps). Also cut out R2-D2's circle dome.

3. Carefully cut out the circle. This is where the small pencil or a straw will go -- so you can spin the dreidel like a top.

4. Fold along the lines on the inside, then glue or tape where the flaps tell you. Do the top part last.

5. Fold the top extra R2-D2 circle top into a wide cone and place on top of the dreidel with glue or tape. Make sure the holes line up.

6. Then stick in a small pencil or a straw through the holes you cut at the top.

7. Now you're read to play!
