Project: How To Make A Bird Feeder

If you’re up for a summer holiday project why not create one of these tasty bird feeders and encourage a whole flock of new friends to your garden?

It’s so simple that even the littlest of fingers can make it.

YOU WILL NEED:

• Paper plate
• Cardboard Tube
• Selection of nut free seeds
• Maple or Golden Syrup
• String or ribbon (30 cm)

STEP 1

Lay your paper plate on a table and squeeze a dollop of syrup onto it. Then roll your cardboard tube in the syrup, making sure it is well covered.

STEP 2

Pour your seeds over the top of the tube and roll it around to make sure you have a good layer stuck to it. When you’re happy, thread the string or ribbon through the middle and use this to lift it out.

STEP 3

Hang your tube up outside where the birds can find it and tie the ribbon or string tightly to keep it in place. The birds will love it!
