Easy to Make Cork Toys
Cats are avid hunters and enjoy having toys that simulate their natural desire to catch and throw prey. These fun and easy to make cork toys do just that! By giving a shelter cat a small lightweight toy to throw, especially one with a tail, you can make their stay with us more enjoyable.
Materials
- Wine corks
- Paperclip or Push pin
- Pipe cleaners and/or feathers
Time to create: Each cork toy takes 1-minute to make
Instructions
1. Use a paper clip to poke a hole at one end of the cork. Make sure the hole is at least a half-inch deep. If using a cork that already has a hole from being pulled from a bottle, skip to step 3.

3. Insert the pipe cleaner into one end of the cork.
4. To create a feathered cork toy, simply stick the end into the cork hole.
