Re-use Old CD Cases for Creative Projects with Kids


Kids really enjoy creating projects with oogly eyes, yarn, beans, and so many other materials and this is a fun and creative option to re-use old cd cases. Stay with the music theme and create a picture frame for a picture of your favorite musician or a “Kids Rock and Roll” mural in this trash to treasure project.

Required Materials:
Glue
Colored Electrical Tape
Paintbrush for gluing

Optional items:
Beans
Yarn
Glitter
Fun Foam
Lace
Buttons
(whatever you can find or think of)

1.      Line the table or floor with some plastic or protective material as this can be messy.

2.     Pull off the black portion of the back of the c.d. Be careful not to break the connector.

3    Cover the outer rim of the case with colored tape. This will serve as the “frame.”

4.   Use your paintbrush to apply the glue then put on your fun foam and other materials to create designs in the corners.  You can even use a sharpie pen to add words like, “I love dad,”  “I love mom,” or “Happy Birthday Grandma.”

5.    When you are finished designing, cut out a picture of your child or your child’s favorite artist/band and put it in the frame. 

If you would like to make your kid’s room even cooler, you can put in pictures of your child’s favorite band or artist and create a “Kids Rock and Roll” collage mural and mount them on the wall in a variety of designs. 

You are your child can join us as we sing, dance, move, learn, and be creative through music at the Burnsville Early Music Education Program!
