Tips
You should be able to find felt at your local craft store, but some of our favorite sources are Benzie Design, Felt on the Fly and A Child’s Dream Come True. If you are a newbie to felt crafting, be sure to watch our Felt 101 video to learn how to sew each of the stitches! When you’re done sewing, you can fill the felt with as much catnip as you like. To use these as play food, fill the felt with poly-fill instead. Simple! If you want to take this DIY cat toy up a notch, you can easily attach it to a piece of string tied to a dowel. It’s all up to you!

Back to the TopThis is a very cute craft, but I was hoping to make a bunch of them at once — could you put up an .svg file of the templates so that I could use my cricut? I’m going to be making them out of fleece and including them as a gift item for little kids at a spring party I’m throwing.
I have added an SVG! 🙂
My son loves sushi! I would like to make him a sushi play kit. Is there any chance of adding that to the felt foods?
I will suggest that to Krista! Love that. 🙂
Id like to know how much it took you to make three of this. I’ve got quite a lot of cats at home lol
Hi Helena,
If you get a 12×18 piece of felt in each color needed you will be able to make 5 or more cat toys! 🙂
