Midweek Creations - Watermelon Craft

Watermelon's are the perfect summer snack and chances are you have thrown out a number of rinds in the past few weeks. This craft helps recycle those and creates a temporary eco-friendly bird feeder.

What you'll need:
watermelon
bird seed
thin rope
ice pick

Cut your watermelon into fourths and scoop the flesh out to set aside for a treat later. Use an ice pick to drill two little holes on both ends of the rind. String the rope through the holes so that you will be able to hang it on a tree branch. Have your toddler help scoop some of the bird seed into the "bowl" of the rind and hang the bird feeder from a tree branch that your child will be able to see easily.
