Iced Bird Feeders: A "How To" guide featuring Club 4/5

2/26/2021

We have been so excited to get back outside after that cold snap and we've been using the elements to benefit our creative drive. 

Always passionate about the wildlife in our backyard, we made wild animal snack cakes using water, bird seed, items collected around the yard and... the winter temperatures!

First, we took a walk around the property and collected various items that had fallen off the many trees and shrubs to add to the bird seed and orange slices we already had:

Next we used tinfoil baking cups to hold the pinecones, bird seed, berries, pine needles and pieces of fresh oranges that we had gathered up.
Then we just add water, and a piece of yarn (for hanging the completed ornaments) We had colored and clear water options.
We very carefully tucked our creations away so they can freeze over night....

And sure enough the next morning they had frozen solid in beautiful ornaments that we eagerly hung from the trees for the birds and squirrels to enjoy!

We're all a part of Nature, and activities like this cultivate relationships with the natural world. These connections help us all feel closer to our environment, our world, and one another.
