Is this toy safe

No, it is not safe. They will chew it and ingesting that kind of material poses a serious risk to them
You can hide pellets in cardboard egg boxes, slit a cardboard toilet roll tube down its length (it must be slit so they can’t get their heads stuck inside) and stuff it with hay, hay in large boxes with doors cut in.
Those kinds of things are safe for them and encourage foraging.

I wouldn’t as it could harm them if they ingest any of it. Guinea pigs are notorious for nibbling things they shouldn’t x

Could you do the same but a fleece type material? 
It's lovely that you want to make them some toys

Not safe unfortunately. Could you try and make something similar with some plain paper?

Yes indeed, Moses and Miriam are very particular about their paper bags.You could get some long strands of hay and tie round them in the middle with a long strand to make a hay pom-pom
A paper bag filled with hay is always fun
Ask Moses & Miriam residing with @Merab
Altho they will say it has to be a special type of paper bag ….they prefer hotel chocolat or Harrods
They enjoyed the Steiff bag we got them in Berlin - it lasted a whole 6 days !
My husband had to buy me a Christmas present so the piggies could have a bag
Any sturdy paper bag is fine - they love to exercise their remodelling skills by adding doors to their bags.
We just don’t talk about what happens to the floor !
A paper bag full of hay seems to be their favourite thing
