Here's a cool fall task to do with your kids. I must give credit to my better half, the Cool Science Mom, for this one. She's the one who found activity, collected the materials, and actually put it together with our kids. All I did was take the picture and write about it!
The activity is very simple. Take an empty toilet roll holder, spread peanut butter on it, coat the peanut butter with birdseed, and use some string to make a hook. Hang it from a tree and you have a quick and dirty bird feeder!
Since we don't have a lot trees around our house, we don't see too many birds, but we do get a few bird's nests in the bushes. We took a look at the bird feeder a week later and some of the bird seed is missing. Now whether that's due to birds eating the birdseed or the birdseed falling off, I don't know. But it's still a fun activity to do with your kids and it's neat seeing them eager to check the feeder to see if any seed is missing.
