I can't think of a bigger hit with the kids than this project. Three weeks after this activity, a few children were coming back to design more and more spinners! Just look at the variety. Since I have a few students that like to half-finish coloring crafts quickly, I had a friendly competition with prizes for those who followed very simple directions: no white spaces and must use at least three different colors. Just look at the variety!
If you allow the kids to use glitter on the disc cover, that puts the spinner into another dimension--inter-galactical!
1. CDs
2. CD cover template (make by tracing CD with its center)
3. marbles
4. hot glue gun
5. hot glue stik
6. scissors
7. white computer paper (or construction paper, but it is heavier)
8. glue stick
Directions:
1. let kids color the template
2. cut template out
3. glue template on CD
4. hot glue rim of cap to top of CD
5. hot glue marble to center of CDs bottom
6. glitter (optional)
Caution:
Let the glue dry before allowing to spin CD with glitter, or else you will have to clean up wet glue in addition to glitter off floor and table
