Kitten Toys

If you’re lucky enough to have a kitten, you know that they’re a whole lot of fun. But kittens can also wreak havoc if they get bored!

I love having my own kitten, and I’ve been making my own kitten toys to keep the bundle of mischief occupied. It’s amazing how much fun a kitten can have with a simple home-made toy.

Just by using recycled materials from around your home, you can make your own cheap DIY kitten toys to keep your feline friend happy and well-exercised!

I hope you find my kitten toy ideas to be lots of fun. I know that I have!

The Humble Toilet Roll Tube
