Fairy-light reflector
CDs make wonderful reflectors for Christmas tree fairy lights. They work best on large trees.
Place a CD behind the fairy light with the silver side towards the light so that the light will reflect in the mirror-like surface.
Frisbee throwing
Well this isn't really a toy for kids as a CD Frisbee can be rather dangerous!
To make a CD frisbee:
- Get some Neoprene rubber tubing and cut to the right length to
wrap around the edge of the CD.
- Cut a slit lengthwise along the rubber tube strip.
- Put duble-sides tape on the edge of the CD, wrapped so it is on
upper and lower surfaces. remove the covering strip.
- Wrap the rubber tubing around the edge of the CD placing the the
egde into the cut slit and sticking it firmly onto the double-sided
tape (to make a softer, less dangerous edge!).
- Paint/decorate the sides as you like.
Ring toss
Also known as Quoits. You can create a ring toss game with long pieces of 4mm dowel
sticking out of the ground and try throwing the CDs so that they land
with their centre hole over the dowel. Have tournaments!
- Drill wider holes in the centre fo the CDs.
- Decorate your CDs.
