Feeding The Birds In January

Our Preschoolers know certain birds fly south for the winter.  They know some do not.  This past week we've discussed the different things animals do when cold weather arrives, and how finding food can often be troublesome.  Because our classroom is a peanut free environment, Mrs. Huber, Mrs. Seymour, and Mrs. Williams allowed access to their speech room which enabled us to produce the most lovely bird feeders you ever did see!  Thank you Jodie for providing us with the many rolls, we were so sad Tory wasn't able to join us!


What We Did:

This is such a simple, messy, smelly, but oh-so-fun craft that does a great deal of good after its making.  With just toilet paper rolls, peanut butter, birdseed, and string, you can make your neighbors of flight quite sing-songy!

Step by Step:
  • Smear your paper rolls with peanut butter
  • Roll in birdseed
  • Tie a loop of string at each roll's base
  • Voila; in a tree it goes!
