bird feeders

Fall is the perfect time to start thinking about feeding the birds.  If we get in the habit now, they'll know where to come when the snowy weather sets in.

These bird feeders are made from orange halves, sunflower seeds, twine, and skewers to poke the holes in the oranges.  The kids had fun scooping and eating the oranges, but poking the holes and tying the knots was a little difficult for the younger students.


If you want, you can even make this bird feeder out of a pumpkin!  It's best to add some little notches so the twine won't slip around the pumpkin.


Find a sturdy branch, tie it up, and wait to see which birds love these seeds the most.
