Easy Craft: PB Pine Cone Squirrel Feeders

Having a new baby is lots of work, but we've been

trying our best to keep Sunny to her

schedule in spite our new, cute, but demanding addition.

One afternoon last week,

Daddy decided to try this craft with Sunny.

The results were great!

Peanut Butter Pine Cone Squirrel Feeders

Materials:

Pine cones

Peanut butter

Birdseed

String

Waxed paper or newspaper

Method:

First go out into the woods or around your

neighborhood and gather the biggest, plumpest

pine cones. Cover your craft
space with waxed paper (or newspaper). Next, slather peanut butter

all over pine cones. Roll PB covered pine cones

in birdseed and tie string to the stems of the pine cones.

Use the string to tie your squirrel feeders to 

tree branches or wherever is a great spot to watch the fun.

Getting into the peanut butter ...

Thank goodness for the waxed paper!

Attaching the strings.

Sorry we didn't get pictures of the

feeders while they were hanging!

The squirrels ran off with them in

just a few days. It was fun watching them out the

window licking off the peanut butter and seeds.
