Spring Bird Feeder Craft
CLICK HERE TO PRINT!
Make your Spring a little more fun with this easy and fun craft. “Hide” eggs around your yard for the birds! Put them in trees, too! They are easy to make and use only 3 ingredients and some plastic, fillable eggs.
Ingredients/Supplies
1 box unflavored gelatin
10 cups bird seed
Cooking spray
36 Plastic, fillable eggs
- Prepare the gelatin as directed on the box or package.
- Mix in the premeasured bird seed. (It is easier to do 1/2 at a time: half the gelatin and half the bird seed.)
- Open the plastic eggs and lightly coat interior of each half with cooking spray.
- Pack both halves of each egg with bird seed mixture and close egg to push together.
- Place all eggs in large glass bowl (to protect gelatin from leaking through seam in eggs).
- Refrigerate overnight.
- Open eggs and hide them around your yard. Watch for the birds to find them!
