Winter, it's for the birds...

Thanks to the snow fairies dumping more than our fair share upon us, it's a winter wonderland out there. Lots of fun things to do, like sledding and skating on a winter day but I was looking at our cherry trees the other day and thinking of our fine feathered friends. We have a bird feeder but I thought I'd share with you a simple kids project that never gets old. Tie a ribbon around the top of a pine cone, so you can fasten it to a tree branch after. completely coat the whole pine cone in either peanut butter or pure lard. roll it to coat it in sunflower seeds, bird seed , millet or some other yummy bird treat and tie it on a tree branch, your bird friends will love this winter snack.
