The two types of fruit we used were a grapefruit and some raisins:
Remove the insides of the grapefruit (but be sure to save it for some taste-testing!)
We used pipe cleaners to turn it into a "hanging basket".
Add some bird seed and raisins:
Find a good place to hang it:
And don't forget the taste-testing! Witt loved it (with some added sugar!)
When Nathan woke up from his extra-long nap, we gave him one to fill and hang, too. Unfortunately , he decided to swing it instead! :)
We haven't seen any birds feasting from our feeders, but it was still a fun and easy project to do with the boys.
Join us at Unplug Your Kids for next week's project: White.

Great project. I am sure you will have birds there in no time.
great idea... it is spring here so might be a few birds around
Oh, we made bird feeders a while back but I think the girls would love making these kind too. The only kind of birds I've seen here lately are woodpeckers. I guess they would eat it too. :)
Oh, super cute idea.
What a great idea!!!! I've never seen this project. My gosh - you can just do anything with pipe cleaners, huh? They rock!!
Btw...thanks SO MUCH for your suggestions about the house cleaning. After I read your comment I had to laugh b/c you and I are soooooooo much alike. I don't even own an iron - Downy Wrinkle Reducer is my best friend. And if my floors were done once a week I'd feel like I'd won the lottery...HAHA
