good toy buying and making sites?

by **coral** » Sat Sep 17, 2011 12:21 pm

where do you buy your toys from? ive been trying to find some good sites since the site i buy from is going to stop selling - bluebirdtoys.com. i like this site because it has good toys and parts for good prices.

also do you know of any sites that give ideas and instructions on how to make toys? i ordered a bunch of toy parts now i just need some ideas on what to turn them into

I dont know of any sites with toy-making instructions... I just use my imagination

Here are some of the toys I have made:

Or you could also look on other sites that sell toys and try to copy them.

Here are some pictures of toys I have made. Let me know if you have any specific questions about how I did something, what materials I used, or where I got them.

I have found that a cardboard egg carton can be fun for them. Of course they turn big ones into little ones so you have mulch.

cant the egg cartons have bacteria in them?

They can, there is a chance that used egg cartons can harbor salmonella. Some parrot supplies stores do sell egg carton that weren't used.

For stores, I like Things for Wings, Oliver's Garden, mother pluckin' bird toys, grey feather toys amongst others..
