Introduction: Rolling Tone - Cat Toy
This is simple cat toy I've made for Enya >*.*<, remixing ;) Lindarose's Twine Cat Toy.
Step 1: Materials
This toy is done with recycled materials. Here what you'll need:
- empty cardboard spool of a whool or cotton ball;
- scrap of twine and ribbon;
- a little bell;
- hot glue;
- (optional) some crochets, just to help.
Step 2: Spool
I didn't have an empty spool, so I take a cotton ball and re-wind it up to free the spool.
Step 3: Bell
I bought a collar for Enya. It has a little bell that I took right away, because I think it will be a torture for Enya's ears.
Attach the bell to a loop of ribbon, then put it around the spool. Use a bit of glue to fasten it.
Step 4:
Glueing the twine here and there, wind it around the spool. Pay attention to leave the ribbon with the bell free.
Step 5:
Glue the scraps of ribbon around the spool, in diagonal over the twine. This gives the toy colours and different touch feelings (have I ever mention that, as a teacher, I sometimes use Maria Montessori's methods?)
Step 6: Play!
Give it to your cat and let her/him play :) She/he will roll it, hearing the bell (from which the name I gave it: rolling tone - the tone of the bell!) and if it's flat on a base, the cat will put the paw in to try and get the bell. At least: Enya does so! >^_^<
