Gliders like to bat hanging things around, chase things, wrestle and climb. Mine like tiny stuffed animals too. If you buy toys, make sure they are glider-proofed (ie no small parts that can be torn off and swallowed) and nothing with cat-nip. You really don't have to spend a lot of money on toys though, be inventive--a lot of things around the house are good. Mine LOVE toilet paper tubes, thread spools, ribbons, marbles, etc. etc.

Also, a good thing to purchase is a wodent wheel from a web site. Gliders love them and its good excersize for them.

Mine also love peacock feathers to chase during their out of cage time. I also buy small feathers a Wal-Mart which they love carrying around in their tails ... curling ribbon is also good.
Mine also love empty boxes which I throw away after a couple of days and replace with clean ones.

juno plays with tennis balls, golf balls, a glass prism, hanging things, string (only supervised! make sure your glider doesn't get tangled), plants, things to jump and climb on, plastic slinkys (also a supervised only item), paper tubes, long wooden dowels (so you can go moth hunting with your glider), containers with holes in them, jars, vases, anything that can be played with is a toy, just make sure it can't be broken, ingested, or chewed to small, dangerous bits. some things are only ok if you are there with your glider, like strings etc.
have fun =)
