Make Pine Cone Bird Feeders

You will need:

• One pine cone per child
• One paintbrush per child
• One plate per child
• Peanut butter in a bowl
• Birdseed in a bowl
• Scissors
• String/wool

STEP 1

• Cut a piece of string/wool about 20cms long.
• Tie this around the pinecone near the top.

STEP 2

• Children place their pine cone onto their paper plate and spread peanut butter on it. Make sure the peanut butter gets into every nook and cranny.

STEP 3

• Roll the nut butter-covered pinecones in the seeds until the entire surface of the pinecone is completely covered. Push seeds into the folds of the pinecone.

STEP 4

• Choose a place where you have seen birds visit before.
• Hang the bird feeder from a tree or a hook.
