EEK, I really didn't want to share EVERY National Day. So I had to decide between these 2 for January 5th!
For the Birds!
I think our poor birds are probably starving out there, I have been bad and haven't been keeping up on the feeders. So first we need to make some kind of fun craft that will also feed these poor birds!
You could go all extreme like they did HERE and make one of these!
Or keep it a little bit more simple and do the old PB in a pine cone rolled in birdseed.
Or the in between like these
And I love birds, more so than bird food, there are some SWEET coloring pages
You could make snack time "bird food" with some apples, dried cranberries or raisins, sunflower seed kernels and if your REAL adventurous, you could make these. I don't know if I could, I get kinda nauseous just looking at the Jello Worms from Theidearoom.net!
The kids would love it though! I will probably go a little easier and make these for dinner
these little pasta "nests" are adorable! And they come this way, here is a package of them
I will probably make a meatball "egg" for their little nests!
And if its a day I feel like making a treat these are adorable and a pretty basic shape
Whooo's going to celebrate National Bird Day?
If birds aren't your thing, maybe Angry Birds are?
Or Owls? They're birds too!
The kids & I tried making the shaped bird seed 'feeders' for Christmas gifts but they didn't get hard enough. :( If you do them, and yours turn out, you will definitely have to share your technique!
ReplyDeletelove your plans. Missed that it was bird day but you informed me just in time! Visiting from WLW
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't know it was bird day but I'm in the middle of a bird project all the same. I agree that the jello worms look a bit revolting but I think kids would get a real kick out of them. I like the shaped birdseed ornaments.
