Equipment

  • Knife
  • Awl or Allen Wrench

Supplies

  • Apple
  • Orange
  • Birdseed
  • Peanut Butter
  • Twine

Instructions

Apple Slice Birdfeeder

  • Slice the apple into ¼" slices.
  • Use an awl or some sort of punch to make a hole in the top of the apple ~ not too close to the top or else the apple will tear.  
  • I used an Allen key to make my holes ~ easy peasy!
  • Next, add the string to use for hanging from tree branches.
  • Have your little ones spread some peanut butter on to the apple slices ~ one side only.
  • Sprinkle some birdseed on to the peanut buttered apple slices and gently press the seeds into the peanut butter.

Orange Peel "Cup" Feeders

  • Slice your orange in half and scoop out the orange.
  • Make a hole on each side of the orange cup and use string to hang ~ fill with birdseed.
  • Hang from tree branch.
