I am starting this new post for everyone to share their own inventions/twists on their suggie's favorite toys. I'm tired of seeing the same toys available on all the different websites. Let's let out imaginations run wild and come up with some new UNIQUE ideas! I'm hoping everyone's ideas will spark new ideas of my own and vice versa!

Just saw a neat video on [non_supported_site] where a guy took a regular drinking straw and filled it with yogurt or juice and then folded the straw inside of itself end to end to make a triangle. His gliders love to try to take it apart to get the tasty treats inside.

That's a foraging rose, a crocheted shot glass and straw disaster, a sugar-shots play tube, a deer blind, a glow and glide, a snail on a log and a Hobbit Hill
Those are my most original

Well I for one don't want to go after Amanda, because she is so talented and creative! In all honesty though, I don't have pics on my phone of toys I've made. I'll try to remember to log on from my computer tomorrow and share

I just have a lot of time on my hands and I HATE making the same thing twice. Those two things are a combination for fun stuff... and a TON of junk that didn't turn out IN THE TRASH.

It's really not fair for you to post pictures of the things that you make, Amanda. You just come up with super cute things all the time at the drop of a hat and then post pictures and make me want to buy them all Cheater...lol

Oh my! I think I would destroy my sewing machine if I attempted anything resembling the assembly that turtle must have taken! Way to go everyone!!!! These pics are the bomb!

The deer blind is super easy. It's just a little landware cloth rolled up and bound together on the backside with fleece, then fleece is strung through the bottom part, halfway up. Last, you cut a circle of fleece about 3x bigger than the circle the landware makes and cut strips around the edges. With those strips, you tie them to the landware to make a bottom. Cut the strips into leaf shapes. Then there's the flower that I tucked in and the chain to hang. Easy peasy!

The turtle is an awesome pouch, but with my work schedule takes about 2 weeks to make. I am getting ready to make another one but with some girly fleece so I can have it when I put by two pairs together Oh and here is something else I make it's a jellyfish

WOW GUYS! (or gals rather...) What great postings! This has truly inspired me to get to work! I love them all, from the flowers, lights, records, and dream weavers they are so creative! I'm starting work on a new creation tonight! I will post pics when I'm done. Keep it up!
I have been in a new-toy making frenzy lately I don't have pictures of all of the latest creations, but here are a couple (I'll try to get pix of the others in the next couple of days) Happy Forager Toy
the flower shot glass is pretty simple, but is kind of hard to explain - I will try to get a pattern together and put it on my website with the directions to the apple branch ladder.

After feeling inspired from all these great toy posts I created a 'play-tree' for my sugar glider's cage. I wanted something to keep with her cage theme.

I made the frame out of the pvc mesh hardware cloth. I then covered it in fleece. It stays standing up because I have two zip ties connecting the 'trunk' to the grill at the bottom of the cage. The photo is the tree sitting on my end table in the living room.
