It seems so long since I've been able to sit down and make a new toy for my amigos. I enjoy it, it's like therapy, lol.

Anyway, I picked up these little bath tub boats about a month ago with an idea to make a forage toy, and I finally got to it Sunday.

I'm a little disappointed in the bead work I did between the yellow and red boat on one side, you can see how it hangs lopsided I didn't realize it until the toy was complete, and didn't want to undo the whole thing. Also, I moved it to the lower portion of the cage, on same side.

Oh my how cool! I have 2 sets of those for the grand kids! I might have to borrow 3. They have plenty of other tub toys!

Neat idea Terry!

Do you mind telling me you use to string up the beads? I made one for my girls with hard plastic shot glasses & beads to spell out their names with paracord. I wasn't sure what else to use.

Rexlace

Thank you Dawn I always find myself looking at things for toy making prospects, lol.

Yup, thanks Peggy, I use rexlace a lot making toys. I also used zip ties on this one, and on some others at times, usually as an anchore to tie rexlace to, lol.

Oh this is too funny, I came here looking for inspiration for making toys for my boys - I JUST bought these same boats this past weekend! I guess now I know how I'll hang them!

My advice to you is to double check each layer of boat to make sure it hangs straight. I checked, but not doubled checked and mine turned out a little crooked, but it still works right.
