With winter storms setting in, a lot of birds are having more trouble finding something to eat. This week's craft will help keep the birds near your home happy. It is also a great craft if you don't have pets in your home because it gives your toddler a chance to care for an animal and see the result of that care - lots of happy birds near your window.
What You'll Need:
mini bagels
birdseed
peanut butter
paper lunch bags
string
Split the mini bagels in half and help your toddler spread the peanut butter over the flat side of the bagel. Have the toddler help scoop and pour a couple cups of birdseed into the paper bag and then drop the peanut butter bagel in the bag. Close up the bag and let your toddler shake it to cover the bagel with birdseed. Remove the bagel from the bag and tie a string through the middle to be able to hang them outside near a window. There are several variations on this craft so feel free to get creative. Use bread, pinecones, or popcorn balls to spread the peanut butter on. If your child has a peanut allergy, try honey or sunflower seed spread.
