Recipe for PB and Birdseed pinecones - see prior post

Grab a few pine cones, a paper plate, some yarn or string, plenty of paper towels (for those sticky hands!) some peanut butter and some bird seed. The pine cones that are "opened up" work better than the long tubular ones. Tie a string or yarn around the wide end making sure the string is long enough to tie around a tree branch to hang. Do that first so the string doesn't get covered in peanut butter! Spread peanut butter on the pine cone getting it into the openings as well. We did this over a paper plate as it was a tiny bit messy but not too bad! We also used a Popsicle stick so Kaylee could help spread it! Coat with birdseed and hang outside for the furry little critters! Be sure to take pictures too!
