Pets love homemade toys. Believe it or not, your pet doesn't look for the best toy on the market, they don't watch commercials, nope. Unlike children, they don't see all those toys advertised during the holidays. Here are some great ideas for toys that your pets love. My pets over the years actually play more with homemade toys than store-bought. a great place in your life to same some money.
First cat toys
Paper or a ping pong ball - Believe it or not, your kitty can have hours of fun with this. Simply take a large piece of paper, crumple it into a ball and throw it.
String toys - Attach a feather to a piece of string or use a fishing pole with fun creative lures at the end, such as bells or lights. Or take a child's sock filled with more socks with holes that you might throw away. Add catnip and you have a throw toy like those mice you buy in the store; you can even draw a face and whiskers and tie yarn on for tail.
Bag toys - Never use a plastic bag for these homemade cat toys, but instead use a large paper bag from a supermarket or department store. You can also do this with a cardboard box, just be sure to remove all staples and tape.
Box toy - Take a box, not too big, but that your cat can sleep in, put it on it's side make 2 holes on top and put one end of some string through one hole and other through the other hole and add a feather to one and a bell or something to the other.
Dog toys
Any old stuff toys, no buttons or pull off eyes on them, please.
How about a knotted rope?
Take an old shirt you might throw away and draw a bone about a foot long, cut it out and then trace to make another. Sew the two pieces together and fill with socks or pieces of the shirt.
Socks?!?!?! Did I hear socks?!?! Stuff socks inside another sock and put a knot in the end.
How about tennis balls or find good strong sticks for fetch.
