Winter Bird Treats

Finally, a bit of snow arrived

& the kiddos couldn't have been happier about it. 

Our birds could use a little sweet boost while we

wait for official spring, so we found a cold weather 

crafty bird feeder to make with the munchkins here.

Since we're in a suburb of the "windy city", I decided to make 

ours a bit more stable (and cuter, too!) by using ribbon & four holes.

Looping double length pieces of ribbon placed from the outside of the fruit, 

they gently rock on the windiest of days.

We chose not to place them in the backyard

since we wanted to add raisins for our feathered friends

 and we have a precious dog. 

*If you have a dog, please eliminate raisins

in your feeders or hang them away from your pets' space.

Raisins (grapes) are toxic to doggies.*

Happy Crafting
