We are enjoying spending time with our cousin for a few days who is a new big sister to twins! While playing in the toy room (soon to be retitled play room) she noticed our soda bottle bird feeder outside hanging in the lilac tree. We planted this tree when we moved in, as a transplant from our first home. Its here so the kids can enjoy watching their bird friends come to visit, and eat.
Its a very snowy day in the big city - we had a new 4 inches of snow fall over 48 hours when this storm passed. In the top right you can see the finished bird feeder circles - made from Pipe cleaners and circle cereal (we used a generic whole oats brand). It was COVERED in snow the next morning. However its been several days since, and the city has warmed up - and our bird friends gobbled these treats up!

We used pipe cleaners and cereal circles to make bird feeders. Our cousin inspire everyone by making patterns. She chose brown, color, brown, color.

I had to hold baby girls pipe cleaner, but she practiced her fine motor skills as she looped the cereal on.
The girls put the feeders on as bracelets instead of "just" carrying them to the play room. We hung our feeders on the lilac tree near our window so we can easily see the birds enjoy their treats when we sit and play.
We will be sure to shake the snow off for the birds easier access as the storm passes.
Make Mistakes. Breathe. Reflect. And Laugh.Out.Loud!
