MARCH BREAK! How exciting! Time for the children to have some time off from studies and relax!
But maybe you’re thinking that it’s not so great because now you must come up with things for them to do all day long! Here are some great ideas for things to do with your kids, and your fur-kids, during this week off.
There’s a reason why most dog toys have squeakers and crinkle materials inside. Dogs love toys that respond by making noise. A simple dog toy is to take a plastic water bottle and place it in either a sock or an old t-shirt. If placing the bottle in a sock, simply close the opening by tying a knot.
If using a t-shirt, wrap the bottle as you would a burrito (by tucking the sides in and rolling), then take leftover strips of fabric and tightly secure the shirt onto the bottle. Dogs will love the crumple sound every time they press down on the bottle. Always ensure the bottle cap has been removed to prevent ingestion should the dog get the bottle free.
Check out our blog for some handmade toy ideas for cats and dogs!
