I have been on the hunt for pine cones for weeks! Why is it that I see pine cones all the time, but when I actually am looking for them I never find them?? Now it's not like I went out of my way to get some... obviously that would have been the simple solution. With a 5 month old on my hip, finding a new house, and planning Addy's 3rd birthday party... I just have not had time to make a trip to find pine cones. Luckily, we came across a TON of them at our old playground... so here it is...
Pine Cone Bird Feeders
What You Need:
- a pile of pine cones
- a jar of peanut butter
- wild bird seed (pour into medium sized bowl)
- 1' of yarn or ribbon per pine cone
- spoon for spreading the peanut butter
- spoon for spreading the peanut butter
What To Do:
- First tie a 1' long strand of yarn or ribbon around the small tip of your pine cone.
- Using a spoon, have your child rub peanut butter all over the pine cone (yes, this can be messy)
- Roll the pine cone in the bird seed.
- Repeat until you've made as many as desired.
- Hang from a tree
(make sure there are plenty of branches around for the birds to reach the pine cones!)
