Bird Feeders from Old Christmas Ornaments!


Yesterday, we made bird feeders from some old Christmas ornaments!  We crushed egg shells (a good source fo cacium for birds!) and had raisins, peanuts, and sunflower seeds to use.  We made a few by spreading peanut butter around the ornament and them rolling them in our fruit, egg shell and nut mixture.  We also did a few by mixing peanut butter with shortening and spreading that on theornament before rolling it in the mixture.  I also posted pictures of my latest card creations here: Pattie's Cards
