Bird Feeders

We had a week of summer weather last week and Aliza's unit in school was "Winter"! It was fun to do a "winter" craft on the deck in summer weather.

The day's science lesson was about how birds migrate to warmer areas for the winter and the craft was to make 3 different bird feeders.

For the first, Aliza made a string of Cheerios and hung in on a branch.

For the second, Aliza cut shapes out of (a whole loaf) of bread. We let the bread sit on the counter overnight to dry out and then spread peanut butter on each piece and covered it in birdseed. The shapes fit quite nicely in suet feeders. We hung one up at Grandma's house.

 Finally, pine cones were rolled in shortening and then rolled in birdseed.
