(54) Three-dimensional recreational card


(57) A three-dimensional recreational card is formed from a flat card body that is provided along a circumferential edge with radially spaced slits and between inner ends of any two adjacent slits with a folding line, so that each folding line and two slits adjacent to the folding line together define a flap on the card body. The flaps are alternately bent upward and downward about the folding lines to angularly locate above and below the flat card body and thereby support a central portion of the card body over a plane. When the central portion of the card body is subjected to a pressure, the flaps are partially deformed; and when the pressure is removed, the deformed flaps generate a restoring elasticity to bounce the whole recreational card off the plane. When the recreational card rotates in a throwing game, the flaps produce sound due to a wind shear effect.
