Each year when it gets cold and we notice that there are only a few birds left hanging around, we make them a few little treats. When Cam was younger, he made these, and now it's Kate's turn. She was home sick today, so we gathered up some things and made a little Bird Seed Pine Cone Craft. They are super easy to make, and I think it made her feel a little better too!
You will need peanut butter, bird seed and pine cones.
She took a spatula and added a little dab of peanut butter to the ridges of the pine cone.
It looks a little messy, but this is good...
Then hold your pine cone over a large bowl and pour bird seed over the pine cone, turning the pine cone to coat the entire thing.
See...the entire pine cone is coated with bird seed goodness!
Tie a long piece of twine to the top of the pine cone tightly.
It's all ready to hang!
Take it to your favorite tree, and tie it to a branch. If you don't have a tree, you could certainly hang one from a shepherd's hook or place a few of them on a plate outside. Believe me, the birds won't care where they are ;)
As you can see, we made a few...aren't they cute? The birds will be soooo happy!
Do you have a fun kid friendly idea that you make with your kids each year? We would love to hear all about them!
