DIY Light saber

Many of you know my N loves his Angry Birds. This was the key reward that helped him to be potty trained and of course his Angry Bird birthday party that we had back in March. He still plays with them every day but he also has a new "favorite" these days... Darth Vader. 

Thanks to my brother, Cao Fu, (uncle in cantonese) as the kids call him. It started off with N "inheriting" my brother's old light sabers. And when my brother visited back in July he showed N the Volkswagen Darth Vader commercial. N instantly got hooked and replayed that commercial over and over. He even does his version of Darth Vader moves as he hums the song. Cracks me up every time!

The other day he discovered an empty wrapping paper roll in the recycling bin and said to me. "Mommy I want to make a Darth Vader sword! I need some red paint." And so here's a real simple DIY light saber by N! This would definitely be a fun activity if we had a Star wars theme party.

WHAT YOU NEED
Empty wrapping paper roll
Paint
Paint brush
Black and silver duct tape
Scissors

First paint the wrapping paper roll and allow to dry.

Wrap black duct tape on one end to create handle. Cut strips of silver duct tape to add details on to handle.

This is his "Darth vader" face.

I remember I would pretend to be Princess Leia when a bunch of us would play Star Wars as kids.
