You know those books at Jewel/Dominick's etc. The Disney 10 for 10 books. They are well written books for our 3 and 5 year old and of course cover every one's favorite stories. But, they also include some wonderful project ideas.

 

 

With winter approaching, and split schedules of school, we need lots of educational/timely projects.

 

With this project it is a great way to talk about hibernation, animals, and how animals find food.

 

Using day old or toasted bread, use peanut butter or safe spread for animals to eat (no actual butter).

 

Use a cookie cutter to make a shape.

 

Spread bird food on a paper plate or flat surface.

 

Press the bread with spread onto the bird feed pile, while it is down, spread the opposite side of bread with more peanut butter.

 

Cut a small hole in the center or top of the bread and string with yarn.

 

Find an easily seen tree branch to keep track of your bird feeder throughout the day.

 

Ours lasted about 2 hours before getting knocked down by a hungry squirrel. But, it was very exciting to keep checking on our birdy feeder.
