I bought 12 ping pong balls for £1 and unless she's sleeping, eating or drinking, they give her so much playful time

My four year old girl loves a ping pong ball - she has about a dozen 'in play' around the house and garden.
Another cheap toy is a simple shoe lace dangled in front of her or, if in the garden, a grass stalk.

Feathers on a stick or string and a 20p plastic ball with a bead inside it. I think that had feathers attached at one stage too but they had to go so he could practice his dribbling, shooting and saving skills. He removed them, not me.

After complaining on here over the winter about mine not playing and asking for suggestions, I now seem to spend silly amounts of time dragging her current favourite around the house. I found a nearly used up ball of string, tied a feather on one end and a mouse on the other. Depending on how she feels depends on which she likes. It is long enough for me to disappear at the top of the stairs otherwise I get watched rather than the item on the end.

Mine will spend hours on end with a simple ball of tin foil.
He absolutely loves it.

Chasing the other cat. Being chased by the other cat. Chasing the postman. Shoe Laces. Fish in the fish tank. Climbing the shelves in the fridge. Climbing the curtains. Climbing the back of chairs to make them fall over. Climbing coats hung up - ripping them in the process. Climbing the ironing board. Jumping/Climbing onto the coat hooks. Chasing flies. Chasing moths. Chasing and eating Daddy-Long-Legs. Pouncing on moving limbs under the duvet. Pushing the wife's stuff off the top of her chest of drawers, onto her head at around 3am. Hiding his crap in the litter tray. Having a wee down the bath plug hole. Tying himself in knots when let out on a harness. Chewing cable ties. Sitting on keyboards.

Basically... anything that gets him shouted-at.

I got a stress ball from somewhere and spend ages throwing it up the stairs for my kitties to chase up and down. They love it!

My boy who's now at mums loves these little animal toys McDonald's gave away with thier happy meals a few months back. They are little fist sized monkeys, lions etc and they are big enough to roll some distance when thrown up the kitchen and light enough to bash around. He loved them so much we bought a supply from the local McDonald's to keep him going!
