Over the years I have built a number of table tops to go over existing
tables to make them larger.

Construction has usually been discs of MDF or Chipboard ( often made
in pieces for ease of handling ) that just sit on the existing table.
Its covered by a cloth so looks are not important . This is standard
practice in restaurants.

I now have to make another for my daughter and I wonder if there is a
better lighter material.

Ideally a sort of MDF foam sandwich board that is cheap and could be
edged.

I would appreciative of any ideas.
