Supplies

  • Pine cones
  • Peanut Butter
  • Birdseed
  • Hemp cord, string, or ribbon

Instructions

Spread peanut butter onto the pine cone. We found that using a small knife (that wasn’t sharp) such as a butter knife, plastic knife, or pate knife was perfect for this.

Roll or sprinkle assorted birdseed over the peanut butter so that it sticks.

Tie your string, ribbon, or rope around the bird feeder and hang it outside.

Hang a pine cone with peanut butter and birdseed outside for the birds.

Birds are going to love this. By the following day, one of the pine cones was stripped of bird seeds and they had started on the second one. What a lovely Christmas treat for them.

This would make a great project for an outdoor themed party. Just don’t go making them at a campground and leave them out overnight, you might attract unwanted wildlife.
