Pinecone Bird Feeder

My mother gave the boys a Charlie Brown advent calendar. Behind each door is a different project or task. One project was to make a bird feeder. The assembly of the feeder was defined by a simple pictogram: pinecone + peanut butter jar + bird seed.

We had two pinecones on hand.


We slathered them with almond butter (what was in our pantry).


We sprinkled our buttered pinecones with bird seed.


Then we hung them in the tree and bird feeder. The milk carton bird feeder was a prior project from Big Bird's Busy Book.
