I want to make my little darling (soon to be darlings) some toys and a jungle gym and was wondering what kind of rope would be safe to use for them-I am using zip ties for part of the jungle gym but I would like to use rope for for swinging toys!-Thanks for any suggestions you can offer <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thanx.gif" alt="" />

I use satin ribbon if I am going to be covering it with pony beads. Also sisel (sp?) rope is good. Just avoid rope that could catch little toe nails.

Judge not until you have walked in their shoes and lived their lives. What you see online is only part of the story.

I read on some one's post (I don't remember who's) that hemp rope/twine is okay. I have read it is a non toxic/benign substance. Does anyone else think this would be okay to use? Thanks for your time! [:"purple"] [/] javascript:void(0)

I am not sure hemp is safe <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worried2.gif" alt="" />, but sisal rope is very similar, and is definately safe!

I know some people use hemp for bird toys, but i use cotton, and hide the knots with in the beads a small hole bead and shove it in with a needle thing i have, not sure what it is..oh and i use 100% cotton, ribbon is a good one too.
Karin, whats your opinion on sisal in sturdiness?, i have never used it, and i was thinking about trying it.

Thanks you guys, I will have to look up sisal rope online to see what it looks like (so I can find it)-but I am glad to know it is glider approved! 100% cotton makes a lot of sense to me as well, as long as they can't get their feet stuck in it- Now to start my toy making! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yelclap.gif" alt="" /> [:"purple"] [/]

Sisal is awesome as far as sturdiness <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumb.gif" alt="" />. It is very similar looking to Hemp. I found it at Wal Mart in the hardware section somewhere. Have fun making toys <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yelclap.gif" alt="" />.
