Pinecone Birdfeeder

Easy kids craft project - pinecone bird feeders are made of pinecones, peanut butter and birdseed

Easy and inexpensive project for young children.  Pinecone birdfeeders are a great way to teach children about nature.  This craft project is ideal for preschoolers and school aged children.

 


 

Materials:

  • Pinecones
  • Yarn or string
  • Birdseed
  • Peanut butter
  • Knife or spoon

1) Tie yarn or string securely around the end of the pinecone.

2) Using a knife or the back of a spoon, cover the pinecone with peanut butter.

3) Roll the pinecone in birdseed.  An easy way to do this is to pour the birdseed onto a plate.

4) Tie the birdfeeder to a tree and let the birds enjoy eating and the children enjoy watching.

Hint:  If you are doing this with a large group of children, consider using paper plates to pour the birdseed onto.  Also use plastic knives or spoons as this will make cleanup a breeze.
