Here Birdy Birdy...

Today Kaylee made a peanut butter and birdseed covered pine cone. Remember those!! She did real good being that I didn't think she'd even touch the peanut butter. When she was done, she looked at her hands and instantly said "eeewwww, nakin" (for napkin of course). We hung it up on a tree in the front yard so that she can see it through the front window. I was out there tying it to the branch and she was saying "Eat birds!" I'm sure the squirrels will eat more of it than the birds will but that's ok too!

What a neat craft...how do you make it?

get a pine cone, an "opened up" one works best! tie a piece of string or yarn around the wide end of it for hanging. Make sure your string is long enough to tie onto a tree branch and hang. Do that first or the string will get peanut butter all over it. smear peanut butter all over the pine cone (we used a popsicle stick so Kaylee could spread it around) and then coat with birdseed. It's a little bit messy so we did it over a paper plate. It's very easy though and the little animals love it! Have fun! :)
