Cats love to play, hunt, and explore. Indoor cats, in particular, need regular stimulation to keep their bodies and minds active. A great way to encourage your cat's development while also being environmentally conscious is to make a puzzle box from toilet paper rolls and cardboard. This simple DIY toy can be made in minutes and costs next to nothing!
This simple puzzle box will keep your cat entertained for a long time. We'll show you how to assemble it step by step.
You need this
- Cardboard (a shoe box is ideal)
- Toilet paper rolls
- Eco-friendly adhesive tape
- Possibly scissors or a utility knife
Craft instructions:
- Empty toilet paper rolls are perfect – if you're using larger cardboard rolls, you can cut them in half.
- Now you can fill the box with the cardboard tubes. The tubes should be packed tightly together – they can even be a little squashed and deformed. The only important thing is that your cat's paw still fits inside.
- Use eco-friendly adhesive tape to stick the rolls together and to the cardboard to prevent them from slipping.
- Now you can fill the treat box with Shakerys or other snacks and let your cat fish for them.
We hope you have lots of fun crafting and that your feline friend has the best of luck fishing for treats!
