Feed the Birds Play Date

Baltimore Mommies has loads of fun activities scheduled each week on the calendar.  Area play dates are a great way to meet new moms and engage your kiddos in stimulating activities.  Staci, one of our fantastic North Area moms, organized a play date at her house in January for kids to create bird feed for the birds.  If you would like to try doing this activity at home, follow these simple steps.  

Supplies: 

Cookie cutters
Stale bread (make sure it is not too soft) 
Peanut Butter 
Plastic knives for spreading
A few straws 
Yarn 
Scissors 
Bird seed 
A box or big plate to put the bird seed in

Step 1:  

Have the kids press the cookie cutter into the bread.  

Step 2:  

Spread the bread on both sides with peanut butter. 

Step 3:  

Press the peanut buttered bread into the seed on both sides. 

Step 4:  

Push the straw through the bread to make a hole for the yarn. 

Step 5:  

Cut a piece of yarn and loop it through.  

Step 6:  

Allow ingredients to harden for a day or two, then hang from the trees and bushes in your yard and watch the birds enjoy their feast!
