Activities for Kids!

Have an adult help you cut a hole in the bird feeder – it should be big enough so a bird could come and sit and eat the feed, but not too big or the carton will become unstable.
Have an adult help you cut a hole using the hole punch in the top of the milk carton and put a string through the hole. Alternatively, you can poke a hole on either side of the flap at the top of the carton by poking a pencil through the top.
Tie a knot in the string.
Fill the carton with bird seed until it reaches the top of the hole.
Hang the cart on a tree branch and watch the birds enjoy their snack!

Poke a hole in the bottom of each egg cup of the egg carton. After inserting the toothpick into the bottom of the egg cup, rotate the toothpick to enlarge the hole to promote better drainage.
Fill each egg cup with potting soil slightly more than three-quarters full.
Press down in the center of each egg cup lightly with a finger. Place up to four seeds from a packet of herb seeds into each cup to be sure that at least one will germinate.
Place the herb planter on a tray and water each section carefully, saturating the soil but not drowning the seeds.
Continue watering the seedlings when the soil feels dry. Thin out the herbs by pulling up and discarding extra seedlings if more than two begin to sprout.

Have a grown up cut the top of the laundry bottle off, leaving the handle in tact.
Remove packaging labels and wash the outside to remove any residue.
Wash the inside thoroughly, making sure that all soap residue has been removed. A good rinse with very hot water will ensure all soap is gone.
If using felt alphabet stickers, stick them to the front of the bottle, spelling out your pet’s name. If you don’t have the felt stickers, simply cut your pet’s name out of felt and glue them to the bottle.
Cut out fun shapes such as bones, biscuits, and paw prints, and glue them all over the bottle.
Let dry completely before using.
