Homemade Bird Feeder

Remember the bird house Noah painted awhile ago? Well there have been no birds so we decided to make a bird feeder to attract some birds (perfect timing in the middle of winter, right?).

What you need:

Toilet paper tube
yarn
peanut butter
*seeds, nuts, and dry fruit
optional: a tree outside your kid's window


1. poke two holes in a toilet paper tube and thread yarn through. Tie a knot. Fill a casserole dish with seeds, nuts, dry fruit.


2. liberally spread peanut butter all over the tube. Even a little on the inside if you want. (Noah thought it was hilarious that we were putting peanut butter on a TP tube despite the look on his face)


3. roll the tube in seed mixture.


4. Hang in a tree next to your bird house. stuff bird house full of extra seed.


(we have not seen any birds yet, I thinking it has something to do with the 12 inches of snow that we got last wednesday, below freezing temperatures, and supposed arctic blasts)

*I used popcorn kernels, sunflower seeds, raisins, and craisins
