Easy bird feeders

The kids made these super easy bird feeders this weekend. They have all been peeking out the window hoping some birds actually stop by for a nibble. 


Supplies:
Ice cream cones (flat bottom)
Pipe cleaners
Peanut Butter
Bird seed

1)Poke a small hole in the bottom of the ice cream cone.  We used a chop stick, but a pencil would work well, too.

2) Roll up one end of the pipe cleaner into a ball.  Feed the pipe cleaner  into the cone so that the ball is inside.

3) Cover it in peanut butter.

4) Lick fingers

5) Roll the cone in the bird seed.

6) Hang on a tree with the other end of the pipe cleaner.
