I am looking to make a few different bird feeders that my grand daughters and I can make. We have a big yard and the small throw away feeders don't last. Any ideas would be great. Remember my grands will be helping. Thank you in advance for your ideas.

Some people turn a large bowl upside down, put plastic over it, and apply wet Portland cement with 1/4 sand and water. Some put elephant leaves over the bowl to give it a texture like a leaf, then paint it and seal it for the birds. Some people buy the big bottoms to the terra cotta pots and set it on a stump. My folks put an old hub cap on a stump and filled it with bird seed. For those you have to put seeds in daily, but there are some you can add seeds as needed and you can find them by typing "bird feeder" in the search box and hitting enter. You will see a good number of them. I chose one for you but you might find one you like better. https://www.hometalk.com/diy/outdoor/garden/make-a-bird-feeder-for-under-2-3770954
