These swords aren't really for sword fighting where they come into contact with one another since they can break. Once the swords are created then you are ready to go on a mission to break blocks or go hunting. You can do a design on both sides of the sword or leave one side blank. Attach the paper sword to the cardboard using double-sided tape or a spray adhesive. Next you need to cut out the sword and then use the outline of the sword and trace it onto a piece of cardstock.Īfter that, cut out a sword from the cardboard and match it up with the paper sword. This is now a favorite activity when his friends come over and want to play Minecraft and I want them to do something more creative.įirst you have to print off the sword onto computer paper and then create a design on the paper.

It isn't perfect, but it has worked wonderfully. I loved the idea and hoped that we could just go online and download one that was already designed and print it off. One afternoon he asked if we could make Minecraft swords. My son gets limited play time on the tablet, so he loves to find other creative ways to doing Minecraft themed activities when we aren't having screen time. I have a love/hate relationship with the game. In Minecraft players use swords to break blocks and in combat.

I love how my son uses it to create imaginative things. Minecraft allows players to build cool structures with textured cubes. My son absolutely LOVES the game and wishes I would let him play it more often. You can get the game in a variety of formats for download on phones or gaming stations. Minecraft is a game that my son plays on our Nexus 7 tablet. Our toddler and preschooler actually had a whole lot of fun with this craft activity too, so it was a hit for the whole family. Today I am deviating a bit from my normal simple toddler play posts to share a DIY Cardboard Minecraft sword project that my son came up with and wanted to share! Do you know why? Toddlers grow up! When I started this site almost five years ago my son was only 18 months old. Although my site is called 'Toddler Approved,' we actually share activities and crafts for kids ages 0-6.
