Little Hands' Pre-Spring Crafting
Feb 28, 2012

So, I know it's not quite Spring yet, but the tulip tree, daffodils and song birds haven't gotten the memo. Is your yard coming alive like ours is?! I'm so happy that we moved into a home that is covered in flowers, bushes and trees.

With the weather warmer than normal and song birds flying from branch the branch in our trees, I decided I might need to start some of the things I was saving for the official First day of Spring, and plan something new for that day. Today, we took a trip to the store to gather a couple supplies that we didn't have at home. We bought a cute little bird feeder for $.97! Then some bird seed for a little over $1. We filled the feeder the moment we got home, per request of the 3 year old and hung it on the lowest part of a red maple in our front yard. Next, we took some yarn scraps I had hiding away, and we cut them into pieces about two inches long. We mixed the colors together and put them in a wire basket-like feeder. (see the picture, I have no idea how to describe that better) Last, we hung it close to the feeder.

Now, when the birds begin building their nests, they can take a piece of yarn from it to weave into their nests! I can't wait to go on walks and look to find how many nests throughout the neighborhood have a brightly colored piece of yarn.

Now all I have to do is start thinking of something even more fun with nature for the official first Day of Spring! Any ideas?
