How to Make Pet Stuff

Make a swinging kitten toy

Roll newspaper tightly and tie with thick rope. Using string, suspend the newspaper low enough for a kitten to catch as you swing it.

Make a cereal box dog treat

Place your dog’s favorite treats in an empty cereal box and tape it closed. Watch him tear through it to enjoy his treats.

Make a chew toy

Place a water bottle inside a large, woolly sock you no longer need. Tie a knot to close the sock.

Make a dog treat for summer

Fill an empty ice cream tub with water and dog treats - freeze. Remove the block of ice from the tub for your dog to gnaw at on a hot day.

Make a feathery cat toy

Tie a few feathers to the tip of a string. Attach the other end of the string to a stick. Swish the feathers around for your cat to catch.
