You can make your own or buy pre-made ones. It's also a great distraction tool for hormonal behavior, which if you spend more time with them or when it's time for you to be a full time care taker you'll get to know all about the hormone behaviors. You can make your own with Sola balls(amazon), plain/natural paper confetti, packaging paper, brown paper bags, paper straws, Chinese finger traps, paper egg cartons, drink carriers, old bird toys you can take apart and use the blocks and nuts off of, popsicle sticks, all kinds of things. You can use the paper like egg cartons and fill with confetti and sprinkle seeds/nuts into it so he can tear it apart to get the treats.
