Rating: EASY
Adult Supervision Required? NO
What you need
- Pinecone - medium size
- Yarn, hemp or string - 10 inches long
- Peanut butter - about 2 Tablespoons
- Birdseed - about 1/2 cup
- Butter knife
- Small bowl
How to make it
- Take a pinecone and tie the yarn, hemp or string around the top
part. Secure it tightly so it can hold the weight of a bird.
(Figure 1)
- Use the butter knife to spread peanut butter all over the pinecone.
Make sure you cover all the parts of the pinecone with peanut butter as
good as possible. (Figure 2)
- Pour birdseed into the small bowl. Roll the peanut butter covered
pinecone around in the seeds to coat the pinecone entirely.
(Figure 3)
- Hang your finished pinecone in a tree. Make sure it is on a strong
enough branch that can hold it, plus a few birds. (Top
picture)
- Enjoy watching the birds come to eat their snack. It may take a few
days for the birds to find their treat, but once they do, they'll eat it
all.
- Refill the pinecone with peanut butter and birdseed as often as
necessary.
