DIY Bird Feeder Craft for Kids

The Thrifty Apartment

Crafting a bird feeder can be a fun project with the kids. The bird feeder may attract various birds to your backyard that the kids will love to watch.

What you'll Need

– Popsicle sticks – Wood Glue – Twine – Birdseed

Step 1

Create a foundation base by attaching four individual popsicle sticks connecting the edges to each popsicle stick – creating a square.

Step 2

Start laying eight individual popsicle sticks side by side and glue them on top of the base.

Step 3

Place another popsicle stick horizontally across the top of the ten vertical sticks. Glue the horizontal stick in place. Repeat this process on each corner. This will create the base and hold it in place.

Step 4

Repeat steps 4 eight times. This will now give you an open crate-like structure with four walls.

Step 5

Take two popsicle sticks and glue them to each other. Place them inside the base’s corner. Repeat this process on all four corners. Placing the sticks in the corner of the base will give the roof something to hold on to.

Step 6

Create the roof for the bird feeder. You will need to place popsicle stick side by side in a row. Lay a couple of popsicle sticks vertically across those sticks and glue them.

Step 7

Attach the roof to the base.

Step 8

Use a piece of twine to create the cord to securely hang the feeder from a tree. Now you can fill the feeder with birdseed and head outside to hang it on a tree.
