Goat Toys
Last friday i went by our electric co-op and was able to pick up 3 wooden wire spools and put them in with the pygmy goats only had to make one modification in which i nailed a 1 by 6 across the top to cover the hole on the side so no legs would get caught in them. Ok i thought that yes they would enjoy but ended up in tears from laughing from them playing so much. Plus an extra bonus was they were free. Even the 1 month old girl was playing king of the hill.

I have the plastic playset for my boys. It has two slides that I glued carpet to plus a tunnel and a fort. Got it at a garage sale and my boys love it. Plus two children picnic tables that i glued carpet to on the seats and top of the table. My grandaughter spends hours playing with them.

My DH built me this hut so that I could provide shelter and a toy at the same time. The top is covered with the gravel roofing tar paper and has kept the babies feet in really good shape.

Mine love the spools also. They jump around like crazy. Put like 2x6 board between the spools as a walking plank, watch them on that. It is great.

Tallbred, I love that. I might have to do something like that. I have lots of old wood. I have wanted to do something but I can never figure something out, but that is great.
