For the birds...

Aleeza's mommy and daddy, Becky and Jon, came in on Wednesday to do a very fun project with us!  We read two books, Llama Llama Red Pajama (which we could all relate to...so hard to wait for mommy to come when we call her!) and Birds.

 Then, we got to make two different types of bird feeders.  For the first one, we made a little loop at the end of a pipe cleaner.  Then we used cheerios to make a long string for the birds.  Hanging this one on a thin branch of a small bush or tree seemed like a good idea.

The second bird feeder was a bit messier...and probably delicious for the birds.  We smeared sunbutter on a rice cake then covered the sunbutter with birdseed.  The birdseed stuck to the sunbutter and the birds could eat the whole thing!  Becky had made holes in the rice cake so we used black gimp to tie a big loop as a hanger.  They were both so cool!

Thank you Becky, Jon and Aleeza for spending the morning with us and doing such a fun project!!
