Toy Ideas

[Kiwi & Co.]

I have a board of bird-safe wood that I got to use with my Cricut, so decided that I would make a bird toy out of it. The board is 3/32 in. thick (not a fraction I ever thought I would see lol) I was wondering if anybody had any ideas for what kind of bird toy I could make out of it?

(I would use my Cricut to cut the wood) If you don't know what a cricut is, here's a link to the one I have:

That's a cool machine!

Maybe some sort of slot together ball that you could fill with shredded paper and some treats?

That sound cool! Not sure how I'd go about making it though lol

Here's a pic of the board

Ignore the bit about rabbits!

Could something like that work? It wouldn't need to be massive!

I found a link right to the instuctions, and I think this is what I'll do, but I will change the size a bit to make it more sutiable for budgies.

Boxes are one of the best toys for bunnies because they are so versatile. I decided to see how many toys I could get out of just one box. Here is the box; it

@Kiwi's Mom how did it go?

I haven't gotten to making it yet, I've been busy. (My sister's birthday is only a few days after mine and my brother's is in about a week lol, I was making decorations with the Cricut)

I'm going to try to make it before the weekend, but the weekend is a much more likely time because I usually don't have much to do on the weekend. Plus I have to watch some tutorials about cutting wood with a Cricut. I have everything I need, but I've never done it before lol

I have the design in the cricut app, so I just have to figure out if I have to secure the wood in any way, and I will need to move my Cricut away from the wall to make room for the wood
(I usually don't cut hard materials, the hardest thing I've cut was "Glitter Cardstock" and it still bent enough to not hit the wall) Cutting wood with a Cricut also takes a long time, but I'm hoping that becasue it is so thin, it will be faster than most woods.

Good luck!
