Make An Easy DIY Bird Feeder Preschool Activity
This easy DIY bird feeder preschool activity is made from a recycled milk carton and a few extra items. What a great way to reuse materials and teaching children about recycling all while feeding the wildlife. Using recycled materials is good for our environment and also allows children to use their imagination. They can decide what they want to turn the item into and create their activity.
Upcycled Milk Carton Bird Feeder
Our milk carton bird feeder was so easy and fun to make. Creating art and objects from recycled materials called upcycling can be fun preschool activities. Children love to create art and have it on display. Well, this DIY bird feeder preschool activity is just that! Having their bird feeder hanging in the yard for birds to enjoy will surely bring a smile to their face. What fun for them to watch the birds swoop in to enjoy the birdseed. This bird feeder can be refilled once the birds have eaten all the seeds, or even repainted or decorated with stickers and gems. The possibilities are endless.
