Popsicle Stick Bird Feeder

School will be out before we know it, and if you’re looking for a fun, easy craft to keep your kids entertained, try making a popsicle stick bird feeder!
Here is what you will need:

• A lot of popsicle sticks (we used narrow popsicle sticks)
• Wood glue (school glue won’t work!)
• Yarn or other string
• Paper clip
• Newspaper to protect your work surface

We will be making this similarly to our popsicle stick box. First, lay popsicle sticks next to each other until you have made a nice little square. Then, put wood glue along one popsicle stick and lay it across your “square”. Make sure glue gets on every stick. Repeat for the opposite side. Now, you can glue a popsicle stick or two to the bottom so that they stick out like a little perch, or just skip this step. Take popsicle sticks and glue them in a “log-cabin” style, alternating sides until your bird feeder is as tall as you want it. Let the glue dry. Cut four lengths of yarn. Use a paper clip or safety pin to thread the yarn between the slats/popsicle sticks on the bottom of your bird feeder in each corner. Bring the yarn together and tie in a knot. Fill with bird food and hand up outside for your feathery friends to enjoy. You can look up what birds you find at sites like National Geographic and continue the learning all summer long!
