This week we are taking a break from reviewing commercial foraging toys and instead making a special DIY halloween foraging toy. Everything used for this foraging toy can be found at the dollar tree or other general stores around halloween time. Materials: - Scissors - Treats/food - 3 Mini candy buckets - 2 clips (I'm using c-clips) - Tissue paper/crinkled paper/tissues - 4 pipe cleaners (2 purple & 2 orange) Step 1: Start by twisting together your 2 pipecleaners, creating a twisted purple and orange pipecleaner Step 2: Tie one side of the newly twisted pipecleaners to one of your clips. Twist the metal end back into the pipecleaner itself. Now thread on your 3 mini buckets, and finally tie the other end of your pipecleaner twist to another clip (again making sure to twist the sharp metal end into the pipcleaner itself). Step 3: Fill each mini bucket with some tissue paper/tissues/crinkled paper and a few treats/regular food. Step 4: Take your remaining 2 pipecleaners and cut them into 5-6 pieces. Take 3 of these pieces and use each one to tie one of the buckets onto the initial twisted pipecleaners Step 5: Finally, hang up your foraging toy in the rats cage and let them enjoy the spoils!
