Winter Craft

We are anticipating another major winter storm this week, and I've begun to worry about all the poor cardinals I've been seeing! I decided the time was right for Finn and I to make them some homemade bird feeders in case they can't find anything to eat in all the snow.
You need peanut butter, pine cones, bird seed and ribbon (and a plate for easy clean up) I tie the ribbon on the pine cones first so that my fingers don't get sticky later on.

Cover the pine cones in peanut butter (I bet honey works too).

Roll them around in bird seed. This is the easy part for the kids to do.

And hang outside for the birds to snack on. It helps to tie it high enough that your mischievous dog can't reach it.
