I have gone to pet stores but the selection for cats is so much smaller than for dogs. Usually my kittens just end up attacking my hair scrunchies or random objects laying around my apartment *lol* I would like to get them a few new toys to play with.

okay, so i know people have already told you this, but here i go. never, never actually SPEND money on a cat toy. we tried, but our kitten, now cat, didn't play with any of them. instead, try these (sorry if i'm being repetitive):
- paper grocery bag
- cardboard boxes
- wads of paper
- string
we did purchase two things which our cat enjoys. they were: a rod with a string & ball hanging off it (from the dollar store haha) and toy mice (with catnip, i do believe). of course, put catnip on anything and they'll love it. the trick is, you never really have to buy them anything NEW to play with, it's already lying around your house.
PS to the question in your answer to my question (wow, that's confusing...haha). yes, people actually do ask that question. i see it almost every time i'm on here. so i decided to do a little experiment, and had no idea people would attack me for it. but it was kinda funny. haha =) thank you for being sane.

Don't bother buying proper cat toys. They are often expensive and kittens quite often don't find them that entertaining
Heres the best bit..............You can make your kitten very happy with the most simplest and cheapest things of all.
Scrunched up tin foil
Scrunched up paper
Milk bottle tops
String
a cardboard box with cut outs so he can hide and jump out and pounce.
Even Scrunchies lol
anything is a toy to a kitten and they usually get more pleasure and stimulation from the above

good kitten toys

Bows, balls, ribbon, string, those milk plastic things on the bottle, ummmm.......milk caps, hair scrunches are ok, straws, feathers, paper balls, old shoes, pretty much anything. Cats like to play with anything. Take a small item and toss it in the air. For the next couple days, that will be its favorite toy!! Oh, fans that have dangly stuff and go slow. Those are cool. ANYTHING!! Or, GET ANOTHER CAT!!!!!!! That could help. Good luck!!

Kittens love ANYTHING!! Just grab anything and play with them and they will love it. Mine like string, scrunched up paper, paper bags, cardboard boxes, a thing tied to a string. Get a laser light and shine the little red dot everywhere, my cats LOVE that!!! By the way, kittens don't respond to catnip, just adult cats do.

You mentioned that your kittens attack your hair scrunchies. Kittens actually like to play with hair scrunchies because of their elasticity. I reccomend finding an old scrunchie and tying it with a string to some sort of stick you can hold. Even the end of a pencil. Circle it around your kittens and they are bound to go nuts!
I think this is a good decision for your because many toys can cost $5-10 when in reality you are buying a feather on a stick or something of the sort!
Something you could consider buying is one of those fake mouse toys with pouches to fill with catnip, my cat loved it although after sometime she did shred it to pieces to get to the catnip.

The best thing about cats is you don't have to spend money on toys. Anything you might find in your home is good enough for them... strings, paper balls, straws, wool, shoelaces, feathers, bells... even insects.
Try putting a fly or another flying insect inside a transparent plastic bottle (with the cap on, of course) and your cat will love it!

toys that look like a mouse, there are toys that have catnip in them but be careful when buying toys for your cat there are toys that have bells on them if they come off will get in cats throat they love string/yarn the little plastic milk rings that come on jugs of milk or even rolled /crumbled paper in a ball, or even a rubber ball is nice but cats will be picky just like children they will have their favs

a piece of string is all a cat needs. Why spend more?
If you really want to spend cash, get a laser pointer. They love chasing the little red dot
