Understanding the world around us is an important developmental skill.
Help your child interact with nature with a tactile experience that also builds
fine motor skills, made from a few simple materials around your home (and yard)!
We'll be making these in the museum on Friday, November 22nd.
Supplies:
pinecones
string, yarn or ribbon
peanut butter, shortening or lard
birdseed mix
spoon or craft stick
bowl
How to:
1. Tie a piece of string around the pinecone to create a hanging loop
2. Spread peanut butter or alternative over all sides of pinecone
3. Pour 1/2” deep layer of birdseed in a bowl, sprinkle or roll pinecone in birdseed
4. Hang your feeder on a tree or other outdoor structure and watch the birds feast
on your creation!
