For the Birds

Today is so beautiful outside with just a bit of chill to it. It's the perfect day to be outside with the kids. While we were in the backyard playing we noticed our birdies were looking for food and that their feeders were empty so I decided to turn feeding our friends into a mom and toddler bonding/craft time.

We gathered our left over bread that was going to be thrown away today, some peanut butter, our bird seed, forks (for spreading), and plates to make our masterpieces. I rolled out our picnic blanket on the deck, gave the kiddos each their own little work area with cups of bird seed and let them make a snack for our wildlife friends.  

When they were finished we took their peanut butter seed sandwiches down to the bird feeders and placed them on a rock. Our kitchen window looks down onto the feeders and I'm excited to see if they enjoy our snack. 

This was the perfect idea for a perfect afternoon outside. A "Definitely Do" for the little bird lovers in your life.

My Tip: You can also use an empty paper towel holder, toilet paper roll, or pine cones to create a bird seed snack (all items you can find in, around, and outside your home).
