Pinecone Bird Feeder
Large pinecone
Peanut butter
Spoon
Birdseed
Twine
Take a pinecone and tie the twine to one end so that you have something to hang it with when finished.
Using the spoon push the peanut butter into the petals (openings) of the pine cone.
Fill all the petals with peanut butter. Use a tray or some paper to catch the spillage. Pour the birdseed over the pinecone so that it sticks to the peanut butter, covering the pine cone in bird seed.
Then just hang it up outside and you have a lovely little birdfeeder.

if you live somewhere very cold you should use crisco instead, the peanut butter freezes the birds beaks closed
This project amazed me when I was little and it was a hit with two little boys that I babysat recently. Kids love it and birds love it. You can use colored yarn or glittery pipe cleaners instead of twine for a colorful addition.
Classic. It worked in grade school and it still works now!
