Celebrate Earth Day

Posted by Charlina Stewart Apr 15, 2008

What are you doing to celebrate Earth Day with your children? How about letting them make bird feeders out of pine cones. Kids will have a blast making treats for the birds to enjoy. Materials Needed:

• pine cones
• yarn
• birdseeds
• peanut butter
• plastic knife or craft stick

Steps:

• Take the craft stick or plastic knife and spread the peanut butter on the pine cones.
• Sprinkle the birdseeds over the peanut butter covered pinecones until completely covered.
• Tie the yarn to the top of the pine cones and attach them to a tree branch near a window.

Children can look outside of the window to see how many different birds they spot enjoying the seeds.
