Gallon Bottle Bird Feeder

This simple craft is great for the spring when birds are returning and trees are beginning to bloom. We put our bird feeder up in April and watched birds use them throughout Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. 

Materials:

• one empty gallon jug - preferably water 
• one pencil
• one scissor 
• crayons
• ribbon or string 
• bird food

Directions: 

1. Hold the empty jug by the handle. Draw openings for birds to fly in and out of on the 2 sides opposite to the handle. 

2. Using scissors, cut the two openings out. 

3. Using crayons, have your child draw on the bottle. 

4. Make two holes on the top of the jug on opposite sides of the cap. 

5. Securely tie ribbon or string. 

6. Hang the bird feeder outside and fill the bottom with bird food.
