Pine Cone Bird Feeder

2/1/2014

Supplies Needed:

Pine cones
Peanut butter
Plastic knife
Birdseed
Pipe Cleaner

Directions:

The fun begins when you challenge your child to hunt for as many fallen pine cones as he can find. If you live in an area without them, a great substitute is old bagels, sliced in half.
Spread peanut butter all over the pine cone, using a plastic knife or other child-friendly spreader.
Dip the peanut butter covered cone in birdseed.
Loop pipe cleaner around the pine cone, then tie it to a low-hanging tree branch... around eye/window level if possible.

Be ready to attract some unexpected guests. We were hoping for some birds, and got this little guy. Sometimes the unexpected results are the cutest results.
