Safe Play Tomahawk

Call it a tomahawk. Or a battle axe. Or a feather-decorated foam attacker. Whatever you call it, your kids will have fun with it, and nobody gets hurt. How about that?

You will need:
A piece of foam ( I used the package my kids' cuttlery set came with)
Two cardboard strips
Yarn, beads and feathers for decoration (optional)

For a start, pick a blade shape for your tomahawk. Or use the one I created. Disclaimer: mine is not authentic Native American, more like Scandinavian, but that's how I like my battle axes ;)

Cut out your desired blade out of foam.

Cut two long  pieces out of thick cardboard (packaging box will do).

Staple the foam between the cardboard pieces.

Cover the staples with yarn.

Staple the bottom part of your cardboard handle and cover it with yarn, too.

Decorate with feathers and beads and you're ready for a battle!
