Since we are unable to play outside today
due to the April Showers~
I decided to make this neat and EASY bird feeder
with the children that I saw online.
The kids were excited when I said these bird feeders would bring
The kids were excited when I said these bird feeders would bring
even more birds to our yard to watch!
(We love to Bird WATCH!)
Just need an empty milk jug or 2 lt bottle (rinsed out)
Some craft paint nontoxic
brushes & stencils
birdseed
and some clear weather paint sealer
their bird feeder and let them go at it~
Hayden really loves to paints things so
he really enjoyed this project!
He's stenciling a butterfly to his bird feeder~
'Lyza Jane stenciled a hummingbird to hers~
After they are done painting and the bird feeder is dry
I sprayed a clear coat of sealer since it would be
outside in the elements~
After the sealer dried Hayden filled up his bird feeder
with some morning song bird feed year round mix~
'Lyza Jane did so as well~
They are both excited to watch the birds come and eat

from their bird feeders~
Our lovey dovey bluebirds~
notice our yummy present for them...
This lil' guy likes the sunflower seeds best~
we watch as he digs through the feeder for the black
sunflower seeds and then sits on top of the welcome sign
cracking the sunflower seeds open to eat.
