This homemade toy
is easy to make and lots of fun for kids of all ages. It uses
stuff that might have been thrown away. The kids can race these toys
or just have fun with one.
You can find lots of
Kids Crafts in our Activity Library.
Glue the spout over the center of the CD. You can use craft
glue, or a hot glue gun. Masking tape or duct tape would work
too, but be sure the seal is air tight.
Push the spout down so that it is closed and no air can pass
through.
Blow up the balloon. Don't tie it! Carefully stretch it
so that it is over the spout.
Hold the bottom of the balloon in place with one hand. With
the fingers of the other hand, carefully lift open the spout.
The air in the balloon with be forced out through the drinking spout.
It will create a blanket of air almost like a hovercraft. The CD,
propelled by the balloon, will scoot all around the floor.
When it stops, just blow the balloon up again for more fun.
