Easy to Make Bird Feeders

Who doesn't love a craft that is EASY, CHEAP, and YUMMY!?

My campers made bird feeders and were proud of the results! 

STEP ONE: Gather materials - Tie ribbon of string around the pine cone so that it
can be easily hooked over a tree branch.

 

**We did this craft outside so we didn't make a mess inside.  

(All materials can be left outside for birds to come get) **

 

STEP TWO:  Cover the pine cone in peanut butter! 

**Peanut butter is actually a very nutritious treat, high in calories and fat content, that many bird species prefer,
including nuthatches, chickadees, woodpeckers and jays**

STEP THREE: Cover the pine cone in bird seed! 

STEP FOUR:  Hang bird feeder in tree and wait from
afar for your feathered friends to feast!  :)

We did this with our campers after they visited the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, Illinois.  

The kids enjoyed it and had fun figuring out which planets were what color and size!
