Pool Noodle Lightsaber for Full-Contact Jedi Battles
Leah Cherry caught the Star Wars bug and knew she needed to make something fun for her kids to get them in on the action. She came up with a fun “boffer” style lightsaber that was perfect for them to reenact the fun battles in the movie. Her crafty design is safe for kids and very cheap to reproduce; all you need is a pool noodle (one noodle will make two sabers) and duct tape in the colors of your choice. You can make a whole set of these and throw your kids a fun Star Wars themed party or just prepare them to cosplay when the newest Star Wars movie finally comes out.
