A pine cone bird feeder is a fun craft that kids of all ages (and adults too) will have fun making. Use a pine cone from your garden, some peanut butter and birdseed to attract wild birds to your garden and help keep them healthy this winter.

This classic craft is one that you might remember from your childhood. These pine cone bird feeders are so easy to make and a fun craft for kids of all ages. Heck, I might even make some by myself without my daughter’s help.

During winter wild birds may need some extra food and nutrients. It’s nice to set out a bird feeder and some seeds for your little feathered friends. You can use pine cones from your yard or from the craft store if you don’t have any on your property. You could also take the kids out on a nature walk to collect supplies.

    I see they seem to be hung by some sort of twine. Do you have any idea how often they must be replaced? Also, do they attract other critters?
