This time we're making a pawesome
What We Used:
A small cardboard box
Kitchen roll or wrapping paper
cardboard tube
Wrapping paper - optional
Pen
Scissors and/or craft knife [purrlease be careful
if using a craft knife or similar and remember to always cut away from
yourself, better still wear some thick gloves!]
Glue gun or regular non-toxic glue
Sellotape or similar
Feathers or similar fur embellishment
Optional Cat ~ Parsley was today's
Craft Room Snoopervisor
1. Take your cardboard box
and tube.
2. Parsley inspecting
proceedings up close and purrsonal
3. Tape up the box to secure
it closed. Cut a small pice of the tube so mew have a stencil to draw
around. Decide where mew want to put the holes in the box and mark.
4. Cut out, but purrlease be
careful as it is a little fiddly ~ smaller scissors are better.
5. Place your remaining
cardboard tube into the hole.
6. Mark the height on the
tube.
7. Cut enough to put one in
each hole
8. Place the cut pieces
into box and if they're are a bit loose use a bit of glue to secure them in
position.
9. At this point mew
can leave your Puzzle Treat Box au natural or mew can wrap the box in paper of
your choice, the P.A. was down to one pink roll or some glitter wrapping paper
in the craft room. So we chose the pink as the glitter paper shed it's twinkles
effurywhere and to be honest we don't want to be eating glitter with our
treats! MOL So do be mindful of what mew use.
10. Cut out the wrapping paper
directly above the tubes. Now on the furst 2 the P.A. cut out she went
fur a clean edge cut, but then realized that cutting through from rim to rim
several times and pushing the edges down, was the better/easier way to go.
11. Push your cut edges
inwards and secure with tape.
12. It should now look
something like this. Though at this point we thought it did lack a
little something, so we went on the rummage to see what we could jazz it up
with and we found some feathers.
13. We used the glue gun to stick on 4 x feathers per station and made sure they were at different angles
to add more dimension and to make it harder to get the treats, this is because
Fudge is like a Dyson vacuum cleaner, he eats 6 treats to Smooch's 1.
14. So now we have the
completed Puzzle Treat Box.
>^.^<
It shouldn't take mew more
than 30 minutes to make this, it took us about 45 minutes, but we were looking
fur extra embellishments and as we've said before, we do make it up as we go
along! MOL
No skillz at all are required, and if mew can wrap a present mew can make this.
So What Did The B Team Think?
Well
they were all offur in in seconds when they heard the treat tin rattle, MOL
HEATHENS!
And to be fair, we've
neffur had anything like this before, so we think it's safe to say that it had only been on
the floor a few minutes and we soon got the hang of getting ones paw in there to
go fish fur treats, take a look at how we got on!
As
mew can see, we didn't do too badly, although Fudge has the attention span of a
gnat and still hasn't quite got IT! MOL
The P.A. decided to tip
the box on its side so we could try another angle and Parsley was straight onto
that, he was a master in moments.
Also by putting a few treats on the top, it acts as a lure fur your kitty to get involved and investigate so they become comfortable with it.
