Bird Feeders

This week we made some yummy treats for the birds.  We practiced reading and following instructions from a recipe and took turns measuring and mixing ingredients.  Which shape do you like the best?  Check out our great recipe writing below.  Hope the birds enjoy their treats!




Bird Feeder Recipe

In a big bowl mix:

  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 envelope unflavoured gelatin
  • 3 tbsp corn syrup  

Then, mix in 4 cups of bird seed.  Dump mixture onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and flatten (1/4 to 1/2 inch thick).  Use cookie cutters to make shapes.  Make a hole with a straw.  Let dry overnight.  Thread twine through the hole and hang for the birds.
