Make your own DIY Bird Feeders

My children love collecting sticks, rocks, flowers and other natural objects. We spend countless hours outdoors and as a result, our house and porch are usually full of their collections. I instead of filling up our flower beds or garbage can with sticks, I am always looking for crafts that use them. This time I thought it would be fun to make bird feeders.<\/p>\n

\n

These are pretty simple to make and are great for practice building fine motor skills as well. My 5 year old son used string and my 2 year old daughter used twisty ties. I didn\u2019t feel like my daughter could handle the string, but the twisty ties worked perfectly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

These feeders are also refillable. Just unwind one side of the twisty tie, refill with cheerios and rewind back onto the stick. Do kids ever get tired of having birds around to watch?<\/div>\n
