5 UNIQUE WAYS TO MAKE A BIRD FEEDER


With spring in bloom, we’re on the verge to see a terrific showing of nature as plants and flowers begin to grow and leafy trees get their spring growth. All of this, of course, brings out our furry and feathered friends.

Bird feeders are a neat way to get a front row seat to local nature in your back (or front) yard. Here are a number of handmade bird feeders that are fun projects for kids to partake in welcoming spring!

Pine Cone Bird Feeder (via Dana Made It) Here’s a “5 minute” bird feeder that requires only a few items to get going and is easy enough for little hands to help make from start to finish.

Cookie Cutter Bird Feeder (via Pretty Prudent) These cute bird feed shapes also make pretty ornaments for your outdoor trees. Kids will have fun helping select shapes to use as well as forming the “cookie”.
