As a 2010 initiative (I am not crazy about "resolutions") I decided that I would do at least one craft per month with the kids. They LOVE arts and crafts, and it is such a great learning experience! We started slowly this month with the good-old pinecone bird feeder. We have been feeling sorry for our resident avian friends because of the cold weather lately, so we thought this would be a good craft for January. We hung them up, and for two days.....nothing! Then slowly the birds started to visit our feeders. Gimmie let us borrow two of her bird identification manuals, and we LOVE to look up which type of bird is visiting our feeder! Then we get to learn all about each bird...where it normally lives, what type of nest it builds, what its eggs look like, and so on. It has been a fun learning experience for all of us!

I loved making these pinecone bird feeders when we were little!
