Chew toys help satisfy the puppy's urges. When new teeth are putting pressure on a puppy's gums, chewing is a natural reaction. If you don't provide a chew toy, your puppy will look for something else to chew, including furniture, shoes and other things you value. The best chew toys are made of sturdy materials. Toys made out of hard nylon, thick plastic, or durable rope are best. Good toys include KONG toys, chewing ropes, interactive puzzle toys, hard plastic bones, and teething sticks. Choose a toy that is appropriate for your dog's size. A small breed may not be able to chew a large toy while a large breed may choke on a small toy. If your puppy is hesitant to chew their toys instead of your furniture, you can put a little peanut butter on the toy. A small spoonful is enough. Do not put too much on the toy, or it may keep your dog from eating more nutritious food. Freeze a clean dishrag after dipping it in water and wringing it out. Twist the damp dishrag into a tight, rope-like shape and let it freeze that way. When your puppy starts chewing, offer the frozen rag to temporarily numb their gum pain. When the rag warms and softens, you can rinse it out and refreeze it. Toys made out of thin material or even edible products like rawhide are not recommended for puppies. You do not want to give the puppy items that they can chew to pieces. They may choke or cut themselves on the sharp edges. Some things you should avoid giving the puppy include: Rawhide bones Cooked bones Plastic balls Stuffed animals Toys stuffed with foam

One-sentence summary -- Provide your puppy with chew toys. Rub peanut butter on chew toys. Give your puppy an ice-cold rag. Avoid thin plastic or rawhide.

Q: Use your dominate hand to pluck the trigger lightly. It is essential that you do not use a powerful pluck in the beginning. This is when you're the most susceptible to chipping a tooth. To avoid damaging your teeth, keep a firm pressure between the harp and your teeth. Pluck the trigger inwards or outwards depending on your preference. An inward pluck is when the trigger is plucked in the direction of your mouth. An outer pluck is when the trigger is plucked away from your mouth. Find a comfortable pluck. Some Jew's harpist use their index finger to pluck while others use their whole hands. Figure out what is comfortable for you. Try plucking a rhythm and repeat that rhythm. This will help you develop your comfortability with plucking. To get the most amplified sound out of the Jew's harp, you must open your throat. It's common to open your throat if you are chugging a liquid. Do this same technique with your throat while playing the Jew's harp. Try modifying the shape of your throat. You do this in everyday speech. Imagine you're saying the vowels: a, e, i, o and u. These shapes will all give you different tones. Practice a consistent pluck while changing the shape of your mouth. You can reach a higher pitch by widening your mouth. Similarly, you can reach a lower tone by narrowing your mouth. Your tongue also plays a part in altering the sound of a Jew's harp. Experiment with different positions for your tongue. Try flickering your tongue to the back of your throat for a nice effect. Different breathing variations will modify your tone. Breathing out while playing will create a loud and buzzy sound. Breathing in will create a softer buzzing sound. Use these techniques as accents. Breathe through your nose during normal play. Continue to experiment with different combinations of the above techniques. Once you begin to feel comfortable with different sounds, try to develop a melody out of the Jew's harp. It will take a lot of practice to play cohesive melodies on the Jew's harp. You won't be able to play distinct melodies until you've mastered all the basics. Try something experimental on the Jew's harp. Try whispering words while playing. Play around and try to have fun with it. Differentiating notes on purpose is difficult for both players and listeners. The particular note you produce depends on the quality and make of your Jew's harp. Play notes by playing open and closed sounds. Open sounds are all the sounds you've produced thus far. Closed sounds are achieved by closing your throat, or your glottis. Then use air pressure to open your glottis by saying "A." This will produce an overtone which is essential for playing different notes. Use a tuner while you are practicing to see if you are able to hit a perfect note. Then practice the other techniques and adjust your mouth till those sounds create a different note. Again, playing intentional notes is difficult for the Jew's harp.
A: Practice plucking. Open your throat. Change the shape of your mouth. Move your tongue. Modify your breathing. Practice your repertoire of sounds. Play notes on the harp.

Article: The ball needs to be proportionate to your flower; something around 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) in diameter would work for most flowers. You can also roll some aluminum foil to a teardrop shape instead. For a more realistic center, gently flatten the curbed part of the teardrop. If the teardrop is loose, pull it off, fill the hole with glue, then push it onto the wire again. Make sure that the wire doesn't pop out of the top part of the tear drop. If you can't find any wire stems, you can paint a skewer green and use that instead. Don't use regular wire or pipe cleaners. You don't have to do this if you used a Styrofoam ball, but you might want to if you used aluminum foil. Paint the teardrop with glue first, then dip it into ground rice. Let the glue dry, then seal it with another coat of glue. You only need to coat the top part of the teardrop. If you can't find ground rice, try something else that has a grainy texture, such as ground/steel cut oatmeal or ground buckwheat. You may need to add a few coats of paint to completely cover the base material. Let each coat of paint dry before adding the next one.
