For our kids

The things we do for our kids. Katie's bird feeder art project from playgroup fell on the ground today. When it started snowing, Katie insisted that I had to save it from being covered in snow. I decided move it to a different bush.
Now we eagerly await the birds coming to eat from it. Since birds have a hard time finding food in the winter, it's not a bad idea to feed them a little. Cute fun project too. Here's how we did it. 

Items needed: Corn syrup, tray of bird seeds, cardboard, popsicle stick, paint brush, ribbon or string

Prep cardboard with a whole for ribbon or string and a slit for the popsicle stick. Paint corn syrup onto one side of the cardboard. Place cardboard, corn syrup side down, into bird seeds. Flip and repeat. Slide popsicle stick through the slit. Tie ribbon/string loop through the whole. Let dry. Hang your creation in tree.
