When it’s cold and snowy outside, it can be hard to look for wildlife. Why not bring the wildlife to you with a homemade birdfeeder? The birds will be thankful, and you can enjoy watching them from the cozy indoors.
Materials
- String
- Large pinecone (If you can’t find pinecones, you can also use a clean toilet paper roll.)
- Natural peanut butter or natural sunflower butter
- Butter knife (use with adult supervision)
- Birdseed mix
Instructions
- Tie a loop of string to the top of the pinecone, enough to tie it to a branch or pole.
- Use the butter knife to spread a thin layer of peanut butter on the outside of the pinecone.
- Pour birdseed into a shallow dish.
- Roll the pinecone in the birdseed.
- Hang the birdfeeder outside in a tree or bush.
