I get so excited when I see birds in the backyard… especially cardinals. Wouldn’t it be fun to go on a little nature walk to hunt for pinecones? And then to bring them back and make bird feeders? It’s an easy craft that you could easily stretch into an entire afternoon of activity… not to mention the fun you’ll have watching the birds! If there are allergy concerns you can substitute soy butter or sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter. They’re simple enough that you could easily make these as a classroom activity. So that’s why we chose to add small dabs of peanut butter to all of the layers of our pinecones.
It’s just that if you do that, it won’t look as much like a pinecone. If you want, you can absolutely LOAD your pinecone with peanut butter before dipping it in the birdseed.
Kids, teens, tweens, adults, seniors – Who doesn’t love watching a little bit of wild life in their backyard!?Įach pinecone bird feeder takes about 10 minutes to make… maybe even less? The best part is that you can add as much or as little peanut butter and birdseed as you like. These pinecone bird feeders are so easy to make! This is such a fun craft for kids of all ages.
