Animals in nature are so exciting to watch for little ones but often my little one gets excited and scream or run towards squirrels or birds, scaring them away. So I decided that we should make a bird feeder and put it right outside our slider door so that Cruz can watch the squirrels and birds through the window but wouldn't scare them away.
This was a last minute idea so I used what we had in our recycle bin. We used an old milk carton.
First we rinsed it out and cut an opening.
We painted it...
We paint a lot so I have an old shirt that we use when painting...after each project I let the paint dry that got on it and stick it back in our art closet to be used the next time. I think it's fun to see the shirt gain character over time :)
We let the carton dry and filled it with chex-cereal...like I said, this was a last minute idea so we didn't have any bird seed on hand.
We tied it down and played while we waited for the squirrels and birds :)
This one sounds fun:)
