Craft a few toys for your pretend pets...

The small pink rug above was cut from a real bath mat. Students can recycle all kinds of things
about the house to use in ordinary dollhouse play or displays. Our doll's pet dog and bunny are
romping around this tiny rug with their new chew toys.

       Here are a few toys that can be crafted from limited supplies for your doll's pets. The first is a bone sculpted from oven-bake clay. The shape you see above in the photo is very simple and an ordinary one for pets to play with in real life too. 

       The second to is made using yarn and a few beads from our sewing notions box. Choose three colors of yarn to braid together and then slip one or two beads over the braid. These should have extra large holes so that the braid may fit easily through the openings. Then tie off the braid in a loop so that the beads won't slip off. 

       Now your pretend pet dogs can chew and toss these toys around as much as they like!
