Bird feeder can be made from recycled for example milk cartoon. It is easy to make and cheap too. Your kids can make this by themself but your little supervision may be needed. So, seeing the picture you know how to make this bird feeder. It is cool, isnt it? Watching the birds come to your surrounding to take the food will be cool.
So you’ll need these for the bird feeder kids craft:
# Empty quart sized cardboard milk carton
# Scissors
# String or cord
# Hole punch or pencil
# Bird seed How to make bird feeder:
1. Have an adult help you cut a hole in the bird feeder – it should be big enough so a bird could come and sit and eat the feed, but not too big or the carton will become unstable. (See photo.)
2. Have an adult help you cut a hole using the hole punch in the top of the milk carton and put a string through the hole. Alternatively, you can poke a hole on either side of the flap at the top of the carton by poking a pencil through the top. (See photo.)
3. Tie a knot in the string. (See photo.)
4. Fill the carton with bird seed until it reaches the top of the hole. (See photo.)
5. Hang the cart on a tree branch and watch the birds enjoy their snack! (See photo.)
Tips for this kids carfts:
* A quart size carton works perfect as it isn’t too large and holds a decent amount of food.
* You may choose to decorate the outside of the carton but keep in mind that it will be outside in the elements and decorations may wash off in the rain. Also, you wouldn’t want the birds pecking at flaking paint!
* Check your bird feeder regularly and refill as needed.
