Happy Easter! Crafts for the Family

Hey everyone! We hope you had a wonderful Easter! Today we'd like to give you some ideas of fun things to do with your cat after Easter's over...

Plastic Egg Toy
Difficulty: Extremely Easy
Materials:
1 plastic egg that can open and close
Some tinfoil (other options could be small bells, but not small enough that a cat could choke on it; a cat treat; a marble; a bottle cap; etc.)
Crumple up some tinfoil into the shape of a ball. Make sure it is large enough so that your cat will not choke on it. If you don't have tinfoil, you can always substitute a bell, marble, cat treat, or a bottle cap. Put your item into the plastic egg. Whatever you use in the egg, make sure that your cat will not choke on it if they happen to crack the egg open--make it fairly big.
Roll the egg across the floor or rug so that your cat can hear the item inside rattling. Get ready for loads of fun!

Bunny Rabbit Catnip Sock Toy
Difficulty: Difficult
Materials:
1 old sock
Scissors
Catnip
Felt
Needle and Thread
Cut the felt into two small circles and a small triangle. With the needle and thread, sew the two circles onto the sock as eyes, and the triangle on beneath them--upside down, like a nose. Make sure you do not stitch the two sides of the sock together--just the top piece of the sock to the felt. These felt pieces will be the eyes and nose of the bunny.

Next, fill the sock with catnip to make it enticing for your cat. Before tying the end, cut the top of the sock so that it is two pieces that you can tie in a knot. For an example of this step, see Diagram 1 at the right. You will cut along the dotted line in the diagram. Once you tie the end of the sock, the two strands will become the ears of the bunny.
For the finished product, look in Diagram 2, below.
