Gosh its been awhile since we have had any kind of contest but this should be a good one, I might even enter something myself even though I am not very creative.

 

Allright all you members who have been making some toys for your greys lets get busy and make some thingamajigs and whatchamacallits.

 

Hey, is there any prize for the winner?

How its made:

I found a nice real branch, screwed in some hooks, tied some colorful rope to the screws, tied knots to hold the colorful wood blocks, and then added some leather string and beads to chew on while he is swinging.

It may not look like that I made this but I really did, lol. I ordered the parts from birdyboredombusters.com and it came out to look like a store bought toy haha! Its wood blocks, with coconut pieces and at the end little plastic pacifiers.

 

OK I'm done now. :lol:
