Kitten Toys

The Completed Sweet Wrapper Butterfly

This requires a little imagination, but the final kitten toy is meant to look a little like a butterfly! Kittens have a love of pretty much anything on a string, but this colourful butterfly made from sweet wrappers will easily grab their attention. The idea with the sweet wrapper butterfly is that you drag it along the floor or through the air, and your kitten will go mad trying to catch it!

Sweet Wrappers and String

Firstly, you need to twist the ends of the sweet wrappers at one end. This will make it easier to tie them on to the string.

Then, tie each of the sweet wrappers on to the string at one end. Just a simple granny-knot will do fine, it doesn’t need to be particularly robust.

First Knot

Do this for all of the sweet wrappers until you have 2 wrappers on each side to create something that (just about) looks like a butterfly.

That’s it for this very simple and fun kitten toy. As a little bit of variety, offer your kitten the plain end of the string rather than the butterfly itself.
