It's still so cold outside!
And my sweet little one asked the other day how the birds live outside in the cold.
And that had me thinking...why not feed the birds!
A perfect craft to do with your small ones when it's still too cold to go and play at the park.
Hope you (all!) enjoy!
Birdseed Shapes
Makes 2-4, depending on how large your cookie cutters are.
Pinterest!
1/4 cup water
1 envelope of gelatin
3/4 cup birdseed
Cookie cutters
Twine, string, or ribbon
Wax paper
Combine water and gelatin in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring often. Let dissolve completely and then remove from heat for one minute. Stir in birdseed, adding a bit more if you still see liquid at the bottom. Lay out your cookie cutters on a piece of wax paper. Fill a cookie cutter halfway, insert a twine loop (to hang), and continue filling to the top. Press as much as you can (it's sticky!) and let dry for a day, turning over a couple times. Hang (on the doorknob if you are too lazy/cold to walk all the way to a tree) and enjoy!
