How to recycle paper towel tubes!

Hi! It's me Jessica again and guess what? After my daughter invented the Swing-a-shirt, she made a new toy! {Cheers)

So, you will need the following:
Two of those cardboard tubes that come inside paper towel rolls (for small dogs maybe the toilet paper tubes would work better)
Some duct or masking tape
Some cellophane or treats for stuffing, and
Fabric strips.

First, place the tubes side by side so that the top and bottom line up. Note, though, that if you don't line them up it might be more fun but it will be more difficult to make and won't last as long.

Next, tape them together securely. Tape up one of the openings on each tube and either stuff them with cellophane (so it makes crackling sounds when squeezed) or put a few treats or pieces of cereal in them. Maybe try one of each!

Then, tape up the other ends and start wrapping fabric strips around the whole toy, tying the ends together. When the entire toy is completely wrapped, throw it and say "Go fetch!"

See how easy that was?

If you have questions, please leave them in the comment box and I'll get to them sometime.
