This is a wonderfully simple toy idea and the materials are easy to obtain.
Supplies:
golf ball size whiffle ball
sucker or wood sticks
wood or pony beads
rope
1. Insert stick into the ball. To secure it in place, slip a bead on each end.
...use instead of a whiffle ball, a wood spool could be used...the possibilities are endless!
2. Insert sisal, cotton, or Paulie Rope through each hole and tie a knot.
Colored Wooden Knob for Base
Small Bead, either plastic or wooden
Feathers - I used my fids’ feathers ☺☺☺
Put a few drops of hot glue in the hole (NOTE: MAKE SURE TO DO THIS AWAY FROM THE BIRDS!!). Then put a bead in the bottom. Let it sit for a few minutes to dry, then put more glue in the hole and stick in the feathers that you’ve been saving from the birds and a couple feathers off a feather duster.
Your feathers will enjoy their feathers!!
