5. Plastic Bottle Bird Feeder

Turn a simple water bottle into a handy hanging feeder.

Materials Needed:

  • Empty plastic water bottle
  • Scissors or craft knife (adult help required)
  • Wooden spoons or pencils
  • String
  • Birdseed

Steps:

  1. Cut small holes on opposite sides of the bottle.
  2. Push wooden spoons through so the handle sticks out as a perch.
  3. Fill with birdseed.
  4. Hang from a tree branch.

Why Kids Love It: They’ll enjoy seeing birds perch on the spoon handles while eating.

Tip: Make the holes just large enough for seeds to spill gradually.
