The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide to Strengthening Your Marriage, Family, and Friendships
If you have children, one thing they might particularly enjoy is a bird feeder - but while it can be simple and fun to go out and buy a bird feeder, it can often be even more fun to make a bird feeder with your child! There are lots of different ways to make a bird feeder on your own, but here are a few different ways to keep in mind that are both easy and effective! Orange peel feeder: This is a really fun one, and all you will need is an orange, some peanut butter, and a pile of bird seed. Simply peel the orange in a circular manner - making sure it comes off in a long, circular strand - then coat the inside of the orange peel in peanut butter, sprinkle it with bird seed, and then you can hang it from a good tree branch! Pine cone feeder: As was the case with the orange peel feeder, the only additional items you will need once you have the pine cone is some peanut butter and some seeds! Hold the pine cone upright and coat it with peanut butter - making sure you get down into all the crevices - then fill it up with bird seed and hang your new "feeder" from a tree! Paint your own feeder: There are also a number of different options that enable you to buy a fully functional feeder and paint it yourself, which can be a fun way to put up a bird feeder that your child feels has a touch that is uniquely "theirs," without having to make a bird feeder on your own. If you decide that one of these feeders is right for you and your children, make sure you take the time to paint it with them, as it will be a memory that sticks out in their mind every time they look out the window to watch the bird feeder! Bird feeders can be entertaining and educational - and when you build one yourself, they can also be a whole lot of fun!
