Something I love to do is make toys for Luna. Fleece is inexpensive and I’ve used it to make tugs, beds, and now an enrichment toy.
I saw this this DIY tutorial linked on Facebook, had some fleece on hand and thought I would give it a go. The idea is that you sprinkle your dogs food onto it and they have to forage among the fleece to get it.
I used:
Strips of fleece 4-5cm wide and approx 20cm long
A rubber door mat from Bunnings (under $10)
The beauty with making things with fleece strips is if you cut a bit too wide, or too narrow, or a bit jagged… You’re barely going to know!
How do you get rid of the rubber smell of the mat?

I didn’t find mine had a strong smell – I imagine giving it some time outside in the fresh air would help though! Luna started using hers immediately, so I don’t think any smells bothered her either.
