So, been scratching my head over more new DIY reset toys. I'm trying to come up with more stuff I can make with what's lying around the house and not spend a lot of money. This is what I have: 1. Honey dipped straws bent into a triangle and ends pushed together. 2. Milk / drink plastic lids strung on plastic relace to form cups with lids. 3. Toothbrush caps with treat inside. 4. Breath savors " puck" cleaned and label removed. 5. Tic tac containers 6. Easter eggs strung on fleece. 7. Easter eggs in their toy box 8. Coolwhip container with lid on and 2 big holes in to climb in. 9. Wiffle ball with straws bent and poked through. I'm adding fleece strips tonight. 10. ? Any more ideas I haven't listed?....

Do you know how to do the lanyard braid? They use rexlace and make key chain rings. Well you can do that braid out of fleece.
After you have made the fleece lanyard you then put straws through it. The gliders will have a blast.

You can use the wiffle balls and place fleece strips inside it. Tuck them in so they have to pull them out. You can also tuck treats within the fleece.

Feather,
I have attempted to make that braid. Not with a lot of success but I'm willing to try again! I'm not sure if it is to keep me busy or a challenge gauntlet has been dropped in my brain to overcome and learn something I have failed at in the past... Thank you I will give it a try. Dot loves straws, she is bored with her current presentation.
Karen , great ideas! I have made the no sew vine with good results! And love Sue's rope braid tutorial! Thank you!

 Yeah I've tried that one. I see it on u tube, but mine have never taken intrest. I have plastic chain I hang, I have bracelets, I've tried slit milk rings too. They have no intrest. The only thing they do is pull straws out of the wiffle ball and occasionally move fleece blankies and pompoms from one pouch to another. Dot dumps the toys box. Oh and fiona likes to take veggies back to the sleeping pouch. She loves eating in bed! I thought maybe a neutered male would stir it up a bit and enhance their playtime... Still working on hubby
