Looking for a simple outdoor activity? These homemade bird feeders are easy to make, encourage creativity, and give kids a chance to observe nature up close. There's something special about watching birds enjoy a treat they helped create!

• Grapes
• Blueberries
• Dried cranberries

Directions:

1. Set out all materials and let kids design their feeders.
2. Thread fruit and cereal onto pipe cleaners or wire.
