Hi friends! I know May fourth isn’t an official holiday or anything, but my family absolutely loves the Star Wars saga, so we couldn’t let the day go by without a little fun. We’re just slightly nerdy like that. Since school is almost over, I’m already planning summer activities for the kiddos, so I bought some pool noodles from the Dollar Store, and we made these easy pool noodle lightsabers. My younglings had a blast!
I know this idea has been around for a little while, but as usual, we finally got around to trying it out. Not only are these lightsabers easy to make, but they’re also super cheap. And best of all, they keep the kids active and away from electronics — temporarily, at least.
My kids loved working on these, so if you have a Star Wars party planned, these pool noodle lightsabers would make a fun activity that the guests could also take home.
Supplies Needed for the Lightsabers
- Pool noodles
- Duck tape
- Sharpie markers or permanent markers
- Knife or scissors for cutting
Making the lightsabers was easy, and the longest part was getting the details correct on the handles. First, bend the pool noodle in the middle, and cut through the crease.
Yep – that's exactly how my kids have been using them! 🙂
Oh my gosh! I love this idea- so simple and my twin boys will love to help me make these…and then use them on eachother!lol! pinned it! #LSWL
These are so much fun — hope you like them! 🙂
Yes! And my kids have tested them very thoroughly! 😉
Thanks so much for stopping by, Jaimi and for hosting! 🙂
On top of the reasons you mentioned for these being a great idea, I love that they are, at least somewhat, less painful and destructive than their plastic counterparts! Thanks for sharing on Wonderful Wednesday!
I've never seen those before! They are really neat. It's amazing the different, creative ways people are using pool noodles. We're definitely going to try this one!
Really fun idea! My kids are going to want to do this this Summer. Thanks for linking up at Wonderful Wednesday!
That sounds so cute! I would love to see if these hold up in the water. 🙂
Ours are beat up already — the kids are using them so much. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
