How to make really fun gift bags for rabbits.

Materials needed:

-Brown paper lunch bag

-Raffia or hemp rope

-Wilton's gel food dye (to dye wood - optional)

-Chewable items (such as hay, non-treated/non-scented pinecones , large and small craft sticks, notched craft sticks, various wooden shapes, empty toilet paper/paper towel rolls, non-treated cut apple or willow branches, willow balls, finger cuffs, etc.)

-Non-chewable items (such as baby keyrings or stacking cups, hard plastic mini slinkies, plastic Easter eggs, hard plastic cat toys, etc.)

-One or two small edible items (such dried apple rings, a baby carrot, or other rabbit treat)

Tools needed:

-scissors

Directions:

Fill paper bags with various items and tie with a bow using the raffia or hemp rope.  The only other assembly to do would be to put notched craft sticks together log cabin style as in the photo and to stuff the hay into an empty toilet paper/paper towel roll or cut ring.  This is the simplest project ever.  

Gift bag pros:

-They are very inexpensive to make and sometimes FREE depending on the what you put into them and what you already have on hand.

-You can make tons of these quickly assembly line style.

-This project is easy to plan for and easy and fun for kids of all ages to do.

-This toy incorporates all the things rabbits like to do most - chew, shred, toss, and eat.

Gift bag cons:

-You have to stop making them when you run out of supplies.
