Star Wars Lightsabers
Things change quickly with kids. Just when you think they're so into something that will never end, it gets replaced by a new interest. It might be because of a movie they watch, a video game, or just what is trending with their friends and youtube.
Most recently, the interest in my house is about Star Wars. All six of the movies. Since we do lots of projects with paper and cardboard, we decided to try lightsabers. We were waiting till we could get our hands on some store bought FX lightsabers made by Hasbro, but it's more fun to make your own!
Originally we did a search for paper models to find some good lightsaber hilts. The one we found that looked really good was waay too complicated to make.
So instead we made our own.
We started with cardboard rolls from paper towels.
