Help with creating a star with rounded edges

I'm trying to create a wand with a star on it to 3D print for my toddler, but I'm having trouble creating a star with rounded edges. She likes to swing things around, as toddlers do, so I'd like to round the tips so she doesn't hurt herself (or me) with it. I'm pretty new to Fusion 360, and I've tired to look up how to do this as best I can. However, I just can't seem to find any answers. 

 

I was able to create the stick part of the wand that I plan to make the start screw into. I think I'll be able to extrude a threaded stick out of the start to attach to the wand, but I'm just stuck on how to round out the five tips, or points, of the star. Any advice on how to round them out a little so they aren't as sharp?
