Servings 1
Ingredients
- Old container (Milk Carton, Coffee Can, Gatorade Bottle, etc)
- Paint and Brushes
- Bird Seed (and maybe a funnel)
- Yarn
- Optional: Buttons, Paper, Tissue Paper, other embellishments
Instructions
- Cut a few holes in your containers so you won’t have to do that when the paint it wet! I cut one hole for the birds to eat from and then another little one to stick a dowel rod through later.
- Lay out all your supplies or gather them up on a tray (preferably while the kids are napping!). We did ours outside on the picnic table, so no need for newspaper. I usually just put 2-3 colors on a paper plate for the kids and let them have at it.
- Let the kids use washable paint and paint all over the oursides of the container.
- When the bird feeders were dry, I looped a piece of yarn around the mouth (or through the top for the milk carton). Fill them with bird seed! Then we hung them with a thumb tack on the tree.
