Tie each piece of yarn to one of the toys or small objects. Tie the other end securely around the tip of a finger on the glove so that the toys dangle about 5 in. from the glove. Alternatively, you can use a needle and strong thread to sew the items to the glove.

When you're finishing tying on the items, slip on the glove and call kitty. Encourage her to play with the dangling items by shaking and wiggling your fingers. Drag the items along the floor and let her pounce on them.

Tips & Warnings
If you simply tie the toys to the glove, it's easy to swap out items for other toys when your kitty is no longer entertained.
Discard toys or items when they begin to show wear.
