Friday’s Suggested Activity – Create a Birdfeeder – Act of Kindness
Hello Everyone,
Today’s suggested activity is to create a bird feeder for the birds in the garden. The children in the nursery have been interested in watching the birds and feeding them some bread and left over snacks. Making homemade bird feeders for your garden is a fun way for you and your kids to get to know which birds are native to your area, and a great way to help out your feathered friends when their food sources are limited in winter time. By encouraging the children to feed the birds you are developing their ability to be kind as they are learning to care for an animal.
Why don’t you have a go …
Step 1
Mush together the seeds, lard, cheese and raisins in a mixing bowl.
Step 2
Tie a string to your pine cone then cover it with the mix. Don’t forget to fill the holes!
Step 3
Pop it in the fridge until set, then it’s ready for the birds!
