New Toy I made

[Christinenc2000]

Tried to post this a few times. Hope it works this time. I think if I keep trying I might get good at this

First pic is what I started with. Its hard to see but there is a block of 2x4 on the bottom

Great toy......sissy would be so scared of the straws...they look like colourful sticks. She's afraid of sticks.

That turned out fantastic!

 

[Christinenc2000]

Thank you. I need to start coloring them just not sure how or what to use yet

Oooo!!!! Lots of shredding fun!!

You could splash the coffee filters with liquid food dye and water and then let them dry

I'll try that.

Here are some that I did- I ended up layering them about half a dozen together and splashing them....they're so thin when they get wet it's tough to do one at a time...

I love that. Will try it on next batch . Just regular Food Coloring ?

 

[getwozzy]

Yep, just regular liquid food dye from the baking aisle! About 1/4-1/3 cup of water and a few drops of dye...I used a clean/new paint brush to fling dye onto them --if you do it that way, be careful cause it'll make a mess! Lol

Great toy! You could put treats in between the layers of coffee filters and make it a foraging toy, as well.

That's just what I did when I got home. Some dried fruit

Christine, how long did it take for BB to get through that toy??

 

[Crazy]

Very cool!!! I might do something similar for Buddy!!

3 days. He enjoyed rubbing his head in the filter part lol. The second one lasted half a day. Not bad considering I had about $3.00 Tied up in all of it.

What brand of coffee filters do you use? Does it matter? I have never drank coffee so I don't know what's what in the coffee world.
