Bird Feeder-Making Time

I have been wanting to make pine cone bird feeders with Carson for a while now and with the chilly weather we had a couple of weeks ago, it was the perfect time to drag out the birdseed, peanut butter and pine cones. Carson loved this craft and is already talking about doing it again. Whenever we go outside, he checks the bird feeders to see if the birds have been eating. The only downside to this activity....even though I tried to be careful with the birdseed - it was EVERYWHERE! Next time, this may be an outdoor craft. :)

Putting on the peanut butter/margarine mixture

Concentrate....


His favorite part - rolling the pine cones in the birdseed

The final product

So proud of his feeder :)

Owen watching us hang the pine cones. He had to sit in the wagon, otherwise, he crawls straight for the rocks and tries to eat them!
