Egg Carton Puzzle Box

PictureCraters in the egg box hide things!
I'm not exactly sure how this toy came to be.  I was busy in the kitchen and it went something along the lines of 'Ow, ow, not my feet', 'Here, chew some cardboard' (tossing the empty egg carton off the bench - I was baking biscuits).

The next thing I knew, Ava was well occupied with all the dents and depressions, holes and flippable bits of the egg carton.  And Kato had joined her.  

'Here, lets make it even more interesting,' I say, getting out the treat box and popping some tiny treats down into the deep craters on the underside of the box.  Magic!

Actually, Kato is motivated by treats, but Ava, being a kitten, just wants to work out how things work and GET things.  She got the treats out - Kato ate them, lol!  So the next day I put a small bell-rattle into the box.

Eureka!  More magic.  I can see this will be a very good toy...

I did this for my two cats many years ago. I put a couple of holes in the top of the egg carton and they had to turn the box over to get the treats out. I say "they" but the older cat got them out and let the younger one eat first. He always let the younger one eat dinner first too.
