Fun from home

Fun from home: make a bird feeder

Who tried last week’s fun from home project of making ice cream? With warmer temperatures on the horizon, it may become a go-to sweet treat for your family as you can make it any flavor you choose and it’s a fun activity. This week’s project is an easy one that took my kids about 15 minutes to create and now we have happy birds out front. We now have very happy birds that wake us up early as they enjoy their meal.

Supplies needed:

  1. Milk or juice carton (plastic or cardboard work)
  2. String
  3. Bird seed
  4. Wooden dowel or a twig
  5. Paint (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Start with a clean carton
  2. Cut openings into the sides of the carton
  3. Add a perch below the openings you cut by poking a pencil into the carton
  4. Poke two holes into the sides of the carton near the top and tie string around the top by the spout
  5. Pour seed into the feeder and hang in a tree
