We are having “more fun with the birdies” this week, with yet MORE Bird Feeders the kids can make. They got really excited about the Cheerio Bird Feeders we made a few days ago and wanted to make MORE. Ever looking for new ideas and things to try out, we thought we would give these super simple and “bird yummy” Pine Cone bird feeders ago. Great way to use up some of our nature finds and make something nice for our feathered friends this Winter!
To Make Pine Cone Bird Feeders, you will need:
*Pine Cones
* String for hanging
* Bird feed (from the pet store)
*Peanut Butter (or use LARD that is a great substitute)
These are so easy to do…. tie your string onto your pine cone bird feeder.
Get the kids to spread the peanut butter onto their pine cone bird feeder (yes this is messy, but it is great “Knife handling practice”).
Roll your peanut buttery pine cone in the bird seeds. Make sure it is nice and compact.
And ta-da – your Pine Cone Bird Feeder is FINISHED! Now hang in the garden!
If you are looking for more Bird Feeder Crafts, take a look at these:
i dont have lard or peanut butter what do i do
I don’t think you can make them then?? :-/
you can use vegetable shortening. thats what i do as i have children with nutallergies and i am vegan~ also due to nut and seed alergies, i use millet, raisins oats quinoa and any other non processed dried fruit
Thank you!
I love feeding the birds in my garden what a great idea , what I like with this cone and peanut butter it’s so simple for the grandchildren to do. Also another different food for my feathered friends .
