I have done sabers with kids made out of PCV pipe and transparent golf tubes for blades. These are cheap, and safe to fight with!

I did a few of these when MC recommended them to me too. They are very cool. I ended up using a different tube for the blade only because I was having trouble finding golf tubes locally.

If you are looking to do a step up and cost is less of factor, EL sabers are great for kids. There is less worry of them flashing them self or others in the face like LED. The cost really is the same by the time your done and there are some great colors. And unless you want to get fancy all you need is a 1 1.25 sink tube EL kit and a EL blade kit or get one of Tim's EL blades and you are done. You can even pop in a 9 volt battery with out any extra holders.

My first guess would be that you need to get Adobe reader.

I forget the maker, but there are "nerf" style sabers out there.
They are like foam stuffed sabers....ebat has them and there was a manufacturer site that had them as well.
