Foam Saber for Kids Parties DIY

Building a Foam Saber for Themed Birthday

I make several foam sabers and I have found that there is one very easy way to make them quick and look great. Everything you need can be found at the dollar store (except for pool noodles as they are seasonal).  You may have to really look around if it’s winter to find pool noodles but some outdoor stores carry them through the winter.

What you will need:

 1 roll of duck tape, 1 roll of electrician’s tape or just black packing tape, Foam noodles and lastly red or green circular stickers found I the stationary isle of the dollar store.

Step 1: Cut one noodle in half it will make two sabers for you.  Keep in mind the party space you have to work with as you may need to cut down the length of the noodle for safer and better enjoyment for the kids.    

Step 2: Cut two small pieces of duck tape to cover the bottom of the noodle where the hole is.  Fold down the edges on the side.

Spep 3:  Cut two longer pieces of duct tape and wrap it around the noodle at the end to you just taped. This will make the handle of the saber.

Step 4:  Cut a small strip of black tape and put it vertical on the saber handle you just made. This makes a type of control panel.

Step 5: Add small circular stickers onto the black tape you just put down. These make the buttons of the saber.  Add a red button as the “on” button for the kids.

 

Foam saber noodles are really fun for the kids to play with and there is plenty of games you create for them to use them.   Here is a few ideas of some games using a saber. 1. Keeping balloons floating in the air only using the saber. 2. Saber soccer hitting the ball only with the saber. 3.Pass the saber. 4. Saber bubble popping.   

You will find they are perfectly safe for the kids to use and you will find they really get their sillies out when playing with them.   Some good rules to share with them before you give them to the kids is that there is no hitting in the face and there is no poking with the saber.
