Kids Craft: Pine Cone Bird Feeders
Try out our kids craft idea for making Pine Cone Bird Feeders below!
Let's Learn How To Make Pine Cone Bird Feeders
This project is incredibly easy, and your kids will love it!
For this project, you will need the following:
pine cones
spoons
paper plates
peanut butter
bird seed or cornmeal
piece of wire, yarn, or string
Take your kids to a location to collect pine cones. If pine cones
are not available in your area, you should be able to find them
fairly cheap at your local arts and crafts store. Set up a container
of peanut butter and a plate of bird seeds (or cornmeal) for each
child. Take spoonfuls of peanut butter and fill the pine cone from
top to bottom. Next, place the pine cone in the bird seed mixture
and roll it around so the entire pine cone is covered. I have tried
both cornmeal and birdseed, and the cornmeal seems to take a little
more work and is a little messier. Once the pine cone is covered
with "bird food", take a piece of wire and wrap it around the top of
the pine cone, leaving room to attach the rest of the wire to a tree
branch. Take your kids outside and have them each attach their own
pine cones to a separate tree branch. The birds will love you! You can find more fun
