Easy peasy bird feeders

 
I wanted to do a fun and easy project with my littles, so I threw this together and it was a hit! I've seen the bird feeders with pine cones- but our selection of pine cones is pretty pathetic. So, I grabbed a box of graham crackers, peanut butter and bird seed. The littles spread the peanut butter on each side of the cracker and then pressed it into the bird seed. Daddy used a skewer stick to poke a hole right in the middle of the cracker and then we used twine to hang them. Having the hole in the middle lets the birds eat more of the cracker without it falling to the ground. It was a fun, quick project and the birds ate them up- the entire thing- which they can't do with the pine cones!
 
 



Our birds loved them- they ate them so quickly that I never even got a picture of the birds!
