It cost about $5 at the dollar store for the raffia, balls and bowls. My in-laws cut some mesquite down and gave me the branches and I got the corn husks at the grocery store. I have more husks. branches and raffia at the top but you can't see it in the pic. Posted Image She figured out how to open the bowls out right away. I hid treats in the corn husks and tied them in a knot. Posted Image She hasn't found out I hid treats in the balls yet. Posted Image I think it was a hit. nodding

I seem to have several pairs of worn out jeans sitting around and I'd love to make something fun for my p'lets out of them.

Nope I live in Colorado, USA My name is Kristin	Great, I'll give it a try! I'd be curious what materials people make their bird toys out of, I always seem to have scraps of all sorts of things lying around. I know some p'let toys are made out of cotton, but I wasn't sure if the dyes might be problematic/hazardous to the birds?
