Pine Cone Bird FeedersHere is Hannah covering her pine cone with bird seed.
Bekah peanut buttering hers.

Deklin peanut buttering his.

Here I am helping him.

Once we finished then we went out side to hang them up. Here's Hannah and Bekah with there pine cones. ( It was quite chilly out and that's why hannah appears to have no neck ).

The beautiful finished product.

Now for the last step, Clean up , hahahahaha. Well not so funny since I did the dishes.



How To Do This

You will need,

Pine cones

Peanut butter

Assorted bird seed

Yarn or string

A butter knife

Bowls

and a rimmed cookie sheet.

Note: the last three items are just for presenting it to the child.

Spread peanut butter on pine cone so that it is completely covered ( this prosses must include getting your fingers sticky ). Then sprinkle or role your pine cone with the bird seed . Then tie the end of the pine cone with string and the other end into a loop. Go outside and hang your wonderful creation on a tree in front of your window and get ready to admire the birds who come to get a snack.
