Pine Cone (Bagel Craft)

We didn't have any pine cones but we used bagels instead.

What you need:
  1. Bagel
  2. Peanut Butter
  3. Bird Seed
  4. String
  5. Butter Knife or Plastic Knife
  6. Paper Plates
What to do:

  1. Take and push string through center hole in bagel.
  2. Your using the string for your hanger.
  3. Taking the knife spread peanut butter all over the bagel.
  4. Make sure you spread peanut butter on thick so bird seed will stick
  5. Next dump some bird seed onto the paper plates.
  6. Lay your bagel in the bird seed and take handfuls and put it on top of the bagel.
  7. Make sure bagel is covered with bird seed.
  8. Take and hang in a tree.
Variation is to use pine cones and spread peanut butter all over the pine cones and then dip the pine cones in bird seed. Either way works.

Sorry I have no pictures for this craft. I didn't have my camera with me.

  2. Paint the clay pot any color you want and add decorations.
  3. If using a clay saucer top you can paint the outside of the saucer, but do not paint the inside of the saucer. (Birds can become sick from the paint.)
