Pine Cone Turkeys & Pine Cone Bird Feeders!

I know that some of you have  been busy with the Thanksgiving unit, and
making the PInecone Turkeys for decoration. For those of you who aren't familiar with this fun craft, here's the link:

Now, when you get finished with these, your children can use the
leftover pine cones to make some fun bird feeders, and here are a few
links that will help:

We made these when I was a child, and the birds loved these feeders. We also strung popcorn to hang on the trees for the birds, which was also a big hit with our feathered friends. Be creative, and see what your children can do! Then, when the feeders are in place outside, have them keep track of the kinds of birds that visit the feeders, writing it in their journals and identifying the birds.

No matter what a day holds, it is never boring in a home that
homeschools!
