Kid’s Craft – Bird Feeder Instructions
Yesterday, hopefully, you gathered together all the supplies need for our kid’s craft – a bird feeder. You’ve probably figured out how to put it all together, but if not, here are the instructions:
1/ Wash and dry your carton thoroughly.
2/ Decorate your carton as desired. (see photo for ideas)
3/ Using your scissors, cut a square on each side of the carton. (see yesterday’s photo). The square should be at least large enough for a bird to stick his head through.
4/ Using your hole punch or scissors, make a small hole below each square. Be sure that the holes on opposite sides of each other line up with each other so that the stick will be level or straight.
5/ Push your sticks or rods through the holes from one side of the carton to the other.
6/ Fill the bottom of the carton with bird seed.
7/ Staple the top of the carton shut.
8/ Punch a hole or two in the top of your carton to run the string through.
9/ Hang your finished feeder to a tree branch.
Although this will not last a real long time, it is a fun project and an inexpensive way to teach children about birds and the importance of caring for our wildlife.
