homemade toys

[eejay]

ive been planning on making some toys for Morty. im wondering if the multi coloured popsicle sticks that i see at dollar store are safe? i have some laying around already

Are they plastic, guessing yes? Can they be chewed up and potentially swallowed? If so then no, I would not use.

no they are same type of wood as regular popsicle sticks

My dad and I are going to be cutting and drilling holes into a couple hundred blocks for toys tomorrow in his shop! No more buying from the store for me--I'm a penny pincher at heart.

I am sure you and your fids will love the end results. Please show when finished.
