Treat the Birdies! Bird Feeder - Kids Can Make

Um Safia's Note:

In the winter months & even early spring, food is scarce for the wild birds that visit your home. Help them get some nutrition by making these simple bird feeders. Kids LOVE to make these & they get so much pleasure from watching the birds feed from them.The great thing about these feeders is that are quick & easy to make as well as being inexpensive and the real bonus is that they hold up well in snow & rain too!

This is a wonderful idea...thank you so much for posting. My girls and I usually do this with pinecones, but the bread is so much better.
