Pet stores sell a variety of rabbit made toys safe for your bunny. Rabbits also love to make noise, so I recommend you get something with a bell, etc. This should keep you bunny entertained. Bunnies need a lot of things to chew on, too. Edible houses, rabbit-friendly chews and wood are all good options. I usually avoid chews with lots of dye in them (which a lot of the big name brands carry) and buy the more natural chews (I will post a link below). If a bunny does not have proper chew toys it will eventually chew other things (This can be very dangerous). Chewing also helps with teeth maintenance. My rabbit also likes houses and interactive hay items, such as wheels or hanging baskets. They not only provide shelter, but encourage her to snack as well.
In addition, I try and buy my bunnies toys that will allow them to be at different levels within their cages. For example, I purchased my bunny a flexible bridge, made out of natural and animal friendly wood, to climb upon. This helps her stay active within her cage and keeps her entertained when I am not home. After all, that is the goal of toys. I would not recommend items like shelves due to the fact that bunnies do not like to be up extremely high. From experience, I have learned that they prefer a wider open cage with one level. This is why flexible items such as bridges are good (you can adjust the height!)
Like I already mentioned, do not attempt to make your own toys unless you have thoroughly checked all the items you are using. Glue, dies, etc. can hurt your bunny. Some woods can be toxic, along with many glues if ingested.
You should also check on your bunny's toys daily to make sure that nothing has happened to them. If a toy has broken, small pieces may be ingested by and harm your bunny.
Some of my favorite products include:
Timothy Hay Tunnel
Woven Timothy Hay Mat
Willow Ball
Lounging Logs (Flexible Wooden Bridge)
Timothy Hay Animal Bungalow
Twig Chews
Hanging Nibble Kebab
They are bunny approved!
