Hi everyone!
I’m Allison and I blog over at A Glimpse Inside. I am thrilled to be here at Skip to my Lou today!
We are a military family and recently moved from CO to WI and our new house has so many more bushes and trees than our last house had, which also means more wild life around!
My girls are 3 and 21 months so they are still very excited about birds and seeing other creatures in our yard so I thought I would create and share something that I remember doing when I was little and in school.
Best part, it is fast and EASY!
It is so easy that you can have kids of many ages do it.
Here’s how you can make your own.
-Pine cones (found outside or store bought)
-Bird Seed
-Paper Plates
-Twine or string
-Peanut Butter
-Knife for spreading
Scissors
I also recommend tapping the pine cone on the ground (if found outside) to knock out any little bugs that may be making your pine cone home, especially if you are doing this inside with your kids.
I did this step since my girls are so young but if your kids are older you can let them do this step.
After they had it mostly covered, I just doubled checked that the peanut butter was completely covered with the seed before we hung them.
Disclaimer…
If you do have squirrels in your area, they will probably find this before the birds and they will do anything to get it!
Thanks for having me!!
