Bird Seed Hearts

Bailey's Daisy troop is planning on making these cute bird seed hearts for their February 3rd meeting. Birds are scrounging for food at this time of the year, so we thought we would help them out by creating a heart just for them.

Supplies Needed:
Bird Seed
Peanut Butter
String
Cardboard
Cut a heart shape from a 4" square of paper to use as a template. Use the cardboard and heart template to cut out one heart for each child.

Use a hole punch to create a hole at the top of the heart, insert the string to create a hoop for hanging.
Children spread the peanut butter onto the heart and then sprinkle the bird seed onto the peanut butter. They can place the larger seeds around the edge or just sprinkle randomly.

These bird seed hearts are a great alternative to the pine cone bird feeders we have seen in the past. Great project for early February!
