This Dad Turned His Son’s Head-Shaping Gear Into Star Wars Helmets To Wear After Surgery

One geeky dad wanted to make his son’s recovery from craniosynostosis surgery more fun, so he made the tyke Star Wars themed helmets. Craniosynostosis happens when fibrous sutures in the skull prematurely turn into bone, leading to disfigurements during further growth. The helmet shapes the head after surgery.
