Well... if you need something to throw... make a cut out of tag-board, or a wooden one, or a hard plastic one (use a utility knife or crafting scalpel [such as an exacto-knife] to cut one out of a lid of a pringle can, yogurt container lid, etc) or a steel one, (if you have a hammer, anvil, forge, and coal/propane, though remember, you are not allowed to have steel throwing "stars" or throwing knifes in public), or throw cards or throwing discs (you can cut the edges off of a pringle can lid, yogurt lid, etc. to make a flat disc, throwing discs [cards can be classified as a "disc" due to the way they fly] are thrown by putting it between the index finger and the middle finger, moving the wrist so your hand and arm form a 90 degree [right] angle [facing towards your other hand], then quickly moving your wrist back to a 180 degree (straight) angle quickly and letting go, it is difficult to describe).
Note: Coins can be used as throwing discs (and they actually fly pretty well), the only problem is that they are small... and it is difficult enough to find larger, brightly colored throwing discs most of the time...
