This was a really fun project and the kindergarteners were able to do the project with just a little help. The nice thing is that it used up a lot of our cardboard items and let them do a variety of skills especially cutting and threading. We started with white TP tubes and drew pictures on them to attract the birds. Each was marked off about an inch from the bottom with a line for cutting. They cut slits and a notch to let the seeds out then bent the bottom back to glue to the egg carton top. It works well with this kind that has no dividers.
Last they threaded ribbon through holes at both ends so the feeder could be hung for the birds. We did the knotting of the two sets of ribbons to form the hanger. At this point things went south as everyone wanted to wear the birdfeeders!
