Homework
Please cut your fleece into the following size pieces before the start of class: 2 pieces approximately 8 inch by 3 feet (that's for a small/medium size dog, you can cut it 12 inches by 4 feet if you have a large dog) 4 pieces approximately 2 inches by 3 feet Several pieces approximately 1 inch by 6 inch (20 to start would be a good number, but you will need more. Also these pieces if they vary in size would be perfect, the messier this toy is the better! So you can make some 1 inch by 5 inches, some 1 inch by 6 inch, some 1 inch by 7 inch. I wouldn't go any larger than 8 inches and any smaller than 5 inches. You can make them all the same size if you prefer!) All of these cuts can be a little smaller or bigger and that's perfectly fine. They don't have to be exact!

Class Experience

In this course students will follow along to live demonstrations of how to make homemade snuffle mats, snuffle balls and square knot dog tug toys. Snuffle mats and snuffle balls are great food enrichment activities. We will spend approximately 15 minutes on each toy learning how to make them. If the student doesn't finish the project in class, they will walk away with the knowledge of how to finish them after class. During class while we are working on the  toys, we will have fun conversation about animals. 
Please see the homework section below.  If you can do this before class, it will help your student follow along better and be prepared.

Other Details

Supply List
Approximately 3-4 yards of fleece. ( Used fleece is fine to repurpose) The amount varies based on size of toys you are making.  You can have all one color or a mixture of colors. (Small dog vs large dog). 
Scissors for cutting fleece
Tape measure 
Strong zip tie
Mat for base of snuffle mat. I prefer the outdoor rubber mats, but can also use sink mats. The mats need holes for putting the fabric through.   Size can vary, but approximately a foot square is a good size. Here are some links to examples of the types of mat needed. 

This mat makes several, and are heavy duty for strong chewer dogs:

This mat is cheeper, but makes less

Cheepest, but is not good for strong chewers.
