Programs using old CDs and DVDs

CD sun catchers are a good craft:

Texas Teens Read sun catcher tutorial (http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/projects/ttr/2010/manual/artscrafts.html) (scroll down) Another take on CD sun catchers (http://www.suite101.com/content/make-sun-catchers-from-old-cds-a197089) We did this craft with teens and glow-in-the dark stickers/paint were the most popular decorative item. Definitely use glue dots or other non-liquid adhesive.

How can I recycle this? (http://www.recyclethis.co.uk/) is a fabulous site that includes some recycled crafts.

 

 

We did an "Aliens Invade the Library" program, very popular with boys and their fathers.  Among other things, we made alien costumes and then had a photo shoot of young aliens invading the library.  I brought a variety of materials -- garbage bags for the costume bodies, glittery pipe cleaners for antennae, etc.  Let me tell you, though, if you are making alien costumes you want shiny discs.  Kids used them as big medallions around their necks, as wrist devices, as shiny armor attached to their garbage bagged bodies.  One girl drew an eye on a disc and hung it between her own eyes.  She became a freaky looking Cyclops.   One mother made herself a science fiction crown.  It was all great.
