We made bird feeders today and put some water outside to see what would happen. We added sunflower seeds to the water, and we will hang it in the tree and see how long it lasts.

We've done this "ice sculpture" with sequins in the past but I wanted to see if the seed would still be edible for the birds and squirrels after it melts.

Yesterday afternoon: Alanah's city

I found some square plates to go with the cups, Alanah arranged them

This morning Ivy with the cups

Lelia spreading peanut butter for the birdfeeder

We used toilet paper tubes, pb and sunflower bird seed

I filled 2 cake pans with water, then we added bird seed and a hanging string

The sun is nice!

Squirrels and birds discovered the feeders within an hour!
