In November, J and I made pine cone bird feeders. I just happened to find the project listed at an online kids' site, and J's mommy had told me he had been wanting to do this same thing since he saw Agent Oso do it on his show.
First step was to collect the pine cones. We had a pine tree that fell along the edge of the woods a couple months ago, so there were plenty of pine cones to be found.
J decided 5 was enough. I think he was tired of his hands being pricked through his gloves.
The next step is to smear peanut butter all over the pine cone,
which takes a lot of concentration of course. lol
Next you roll the pine cones in birdseed.
You might get messy, but that is half the fun!!
Then you tie some twine around the end. He was SO PROUD of what he made. This was the most excited I saw him get over a project.
Then we tied them around tree branches and near the bird feeder. On the way back in he said "This was
so much fun!! " We checked the next day and it appeared the birds had been nibbling.
