My toy has no sharp edges as my birds may hurt themselves. The sticks are non-coloured as the coloured sticks may be toxic to my birds when they bite on it.

This table top board game is for my sibling. I drew the characters Among Us because it was his favourite character. I used my uncle's old laptop box and cut it open and drew the characters. The blue things in the box is made up of blue straws. I used small balls from my grandma's pot to roll it around the maze. I also used old toy r us wrapping paper I received from my old presents to wrap the box up. This game is suitable for everyone but just be mindful of the small balls. You can change the balls to a bigger ones. I have also attached the video to Ms Menon. Thank you.

I made a rope toy for my dog!

What you need:
1. An old tennis ball
2. An old sock or cloth

How I got my materials:
The ball used to be a great tennis ball but my dog destroyed the cloth on it and it cannot be used anymore.

The cloth is from my small pants that were too tight for me anymore. I cut off the top part to be made into shorts quite a while ago and now with the remaining cloth I am using it to make this!

Safety precautions:
Always supervise your dog when playing with cloth toys. Especially with dogs that are pretty destructive, they might just tear away the cloth and might swallow it. So, if your dog's mouth is too small for a tennis ball or your dog is very destructive toward cloth toys, maybe don't make this toy for them :)

Steps:
1. Cut strips onto the edge of the cloth.
2. Tie the strips into double knots or reef knots.
3. Tie another knot with the cloth just after the strips
4. Put the ball into the cloth
5. Tie a knot after the ball
6. Cut the remaining cloth into strips like step 1
7. Tie the strips together like step 2
8. Done! Give it to your dog to play with.

I hope you enjoyed the video!

I made a cat toy using a toilet paper roll and some treats.
It is suitable for most pets except dogs as they may eat it. You may have to watch your pet wen they are playing with this if they like to eat things they are not supposed to.

I made a foraging board for my hamster, munchie:)
Safety precautions:
DO NOT use regular glue for this foraging board, only use HAMSTER-SAFE glue which I will show how to make in the video. If you use regular glue, it can be very harmful and toxic to a hamster so make sure not to do so. Other than that, this is perfectly safe for any hamster and acts as a great source of enrichment for them.

What this toy is used for:
Hamsters have terrible eyesight but an amazing sense of smell so this foraging/forage board helps your hamster make use of its senses.

I made a guitar out of a square card box, an empty bottle, straw, four rubber bands and an unused pencils. This guitar uses very simple materials.

First I take the square card box and paint it.
I cut a hole in the middle of the square card box.
I take the empty bottle and glued it to the top of the square card box.
Then I take the straw and cut it into four pieces.
After I cut it, I glued the straws onto the empty bottle.
I paste the colour paper under the hole as design.
I use the rubber bands and tie to the guitar.
Lastly, I carefully place the pencils behind the rubber bands. This guitar is not suitable for childrens that is three years old and below, because there might be loose parts.

I used a big plastic water bottle, stickers and string to make an ukulele. This is not suitable for children under the age of 3 years old as the strings are delicate and there are sharp edges.

I made a guitar out of a cereal box and kitchen paper towel tube, a A4 size gold glitter paper, two elastic bands and duck tape.

Here is my process:

1. I glued the glitter paper to the front if the cereal box.
2. I cut a hole in the front of the box for the sound hole and on the bottom of the box to attach the guiter neck.
3. I made cuts around the kitchen paper towel tube for the elastic bands.
4. I inserted the bottom of the tube into the hole at the bottom of the box and attached the tube to the box with the duct tape.
5. I wrapped the rubber bands from the top of the tube to the bottom of the box and taped in place.

The guitar is not suitable for children under 3 because the rubber bands might snap if not careful. This could be dangerous to your eyes.
