How to make it
Use sunflower seed butter if anyone in the group has a peanut allergy.
1Tie the string
Tie a long string around the top of the cone, between the scales.
2Spread the butter
Smear nut butter into the scales with a butter knife. Messy hands are part of it.
3Roll in seed
Pour birdseed into a dish. Roll the cone until it's covered.
4Hang it
Hang it from a branch you can see from a window, out of reach of cats.
5Watch and count
Check it every morning. Draw or write down which birds you see.
Sunflower seed butter works for birds and is safe for kids with peanut allergies.
