To continue our celebration of Earth Day, gather some supplies you may have at home and outside and make your own bird feeder! Please gather the following materials (substitutions can be made): toilet paper roll or paper towel roll, peanut butter or Crisco, 2 sturdy sticks from outside, string/ribbon or pipe cleaners, a hole punch, and bird seeds. The bird seeds can be substituted for fruit and vegetable seeds, dried fruits, nuts or peanut butter. Follow this guide to create your bird feeder! Once you are finished, find a special place in your front or backyard and hang it up for the birds to find!

Take a picture of your creation and send it to us at kids@johnjermain.org or tag us at #jjmlibrary
