You could also probably take them to a home/ apartment complex for older folks and they could use them on the bottoms of their walkers. My grandma (97 yrs old) uses them to help her scoot around, otherwise the walker gets stuck on the carpet.

We buy new ones for this reason. Recycled ones would be even better.

When we were kids we used to cut a small hole, then stuff them with firecrackers and watch them bounce all over the place when we lit them. IIRC, 22 is the limit. Any more than that and the ball explodes. Shocked

My boys would LOVE to try that. But I don't think I'll let them. Tongue

    I know. I thought of that already. Roll eyes

    That's okay - they know better than to go against me. *giving them a very evil eye*
