| Puppy Cubes -- what do you think? :) I've been making these toys for my little furbutts and wanted your opinion on them I couldn't find a stuffed toy that was durable enough and would fit in my babies small(er) mouths comfortably so I decided to try my hand at making some. These little puppy cubes are fully lined with a strong interfacing and filled with anti clumping poly fill. I have been adding a squeaker so far, but am wondering what else people would be interested in (bells, crinkles, ect). I have two different versions so far to show you all. One has little "tabs" in coordinating fabric where the pups can tug, throw, pull them and one is just the plain plush square. Which one do you like better? All cubes have 3 different coordinating fabric for a fun look! Please let me know what you would like to see or if you think it's a good idea I have a big craft festival coming up in February so I want to come up with a final product so I can get busy making up a bunch! Thanks! |

| I think they look great, I like the ones with the tabs How big are they going to be? I think a bell or sqeeker is also neat Asking about the size because if i give mine toys that are to big, they will not play with them.

| I really like them! If you decide to put them on your site let us know, I would love to have one. I am always looking for toys, Addy plays with hers so much they end up so ugly looking. Only the home made ones really stand the test of time! |

Each little side of the cube is 3" and they have enough "smoosh-ability" that they are easy to grab on to. The stuffing isn't really hard like some other toys on the market. | |

| I think they are perfect size for our fur babies. I like the ones with the tabs so they can use it for two different things.

| I think one of those would be a hit in this house too... especially with a squeeker in it... my Mum's little girl loves rattling things though so I bet a bell type thing would be good too.

| Thanks so much for all the imput guys! I love them too!! I've put them through the washer already without a problem (gentle cycle) and left out to dry and they held up awesome! My one little girl Emma is a HUGE chewer. Her favorite thing in life is to rip the eyes/nose/stuffing out of EVERY plush toy we own and after working on this one for the entire day she finally managed to tear it. My other 3 furbabies tugged their little hearts out, tossed it around, carried it everywhere without any damage done at all, so I think it's good for most furbabies, just not ones like my Emma, LOL. Still though, I am going back to the drawing board, adding a heavier interfacing and an internal fleece liner as well to see how much more durable this makes it! I'd love to be able to offer a free one to a special yorkie "tester" who can let me know what they think of it! I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post that here or not, so admin I hope I am allowed (i'm not selling anything )! The first person to PM me will get a free cube to test out for me as long as they don't mind giving me their feedback on it. =) |

| What a great idea! The tabs are good for little mouths. And the more noise, the better . Good luck at the fair. They should be big sellers!

| Oh those are adorable. Spike is awful with chewing limbs, eye, tails etc off of toys so that would be perfect. Since you asked about crinkles, mine love that. They love the beany babies for dogs that squeak and crinkle. When you're set to sell I'd be interested.
