Glue four or five together and use them as bookends. You can put any color in the CD or DVD cases that you want, and glue them together with elmers glue or super glue. You might even get more creative and put one color in all the cases and then wrap a little thin bow around all of the cases These make the cases look like gifts that you can use as a decoration during the holiday seasons. You are recycling and reusing your cases!
Glue some together in different amounts, and allow your children to use them as stacking blocks. If you have a very large amount of CD and DVD cases you can work on gluing three, four, five or more together. Children can work on stacking these items together to create walls for their toys, to create castles, and garages and so on. As you collection of CD and DVD ‘blocks’ grows, so does the projects that your child can build! You can keep the colors the same, different, or use numbers or letters on the sides of the CD and DVD cases so that they can build things that say something.
Along the same lines of putting numbers and letters on the CD or DVD cases where the music cover originally was, you can teach your child how to spell and count using these same CD’s and DVD cases. Great learning tool for the imagination that children are going to love.

Once again you type in a search, in this case "recycling dvd cases"
and get given yet more unwanted rubbish. I want to RECYCLE
them, ie save the planet by RECYCLING, not RE-USING them; there
is a subtle but distinct difference. If I wanted to know how to make
something with them I'd watch Blue Peter or use my own
imagination!! You should not appear on a recycling search if you
are not truly recycling. |

| Sure, it may be easier to take them to actually get recycled, but I like these ideas as a fun way to spend time with your kids and a thrifty way to have fun toys! |

| Good ideas for someone who has a lot of time on their hands! But how about an actual recycling place that you can take them to??????? |

| These are rediculous ideas. I have 600+ cases I need to get rid of. These ideas get rid of a handful at best! |
