With all due respect, please don't do this.  It's incredibly  
wasteful, and there are alternative activities.
Plastic film canisters are going the way of the dodo egg.  That's the  
breaks.  Adjust (dare I say evolve) and come up with alternatives:

For example, there are other small plastic flip top/pop top lids that  
products come in (such as mini M&Ms that Lynn mentioned.)

Also, what about: soda bottle water rockets charged with a bike pump,  
Mentos and soda demo, launching soda straw rockets from an  
AlkaSeltzer charged small soda bottle with a fixed launch tube on the  
bottle top,
Stomp Rocket type toys, match and aluminum foil rockets.

All of the above are described and/or sold at the science supplier  
sites and in many science experiment books.

Good Luck!
