Make a balloon centerpiece. Use colorful balloons to create a festive but inexpensive centerpiece kids will love. Purchase helium-filled, green and metallic colored balloons and bundle them together with packaging ribbon. Attach the balloons to a Yoda figurine and place in the center of the table. You can find Yoda and other Star Wars-themed balloons at party stores or online.

Use hot glue to attach a small, plastic Yoda figurine to a wooden kabob stick. Place the stick in a glass container filled with jelly beans or chocolate candies like M&Ms or Reese's pieces. For a larger centerpiece, add other Star Wars characters, or use multiple Yoda figures, and send them home with guests as party favors.

Purchase different-sized foam balls from a craft store and paint them to resemble stars and planets. Use craft wire to attach the planets to a foam base in random order. The finished product will resemble a Star Wars setting in space. Place Yoda stickers on cardboard squares and attach them to the base of the centerpiece for a Star Wars-inspired centerpiece your birthday boy will want to keep long after the party is over.
