Summer is Almost Over
I can not believe how fast summer has gone flying by. There are so many things that I wanted to do with the family that there was not enough time for. I want to try to fit as much summer into these last few days as possible. Perhaps we should set the tent back up in the backyard. The girls love camping in the backyard. We definitely have enough wood to do a nice bonfire to go along with a camping theme. Maybe add in some smores. We still have a bunch of leftover peanut butter from all of the Christmas stuff last year. We could use it up by making some pinecone bird feeders. They are a perfect camping craft.
All you need is some pinecones, peanut butter, and bird seed. This gets messy with kids so making it outside is perfect. First you need the pinecones. My girls love going on nature walks and looking for pinecones can add to the excitement. Once you have pinecones the kids can spread peanut butter into the openings in the pinecones. Then the pinecones get rolled in the bird seeds. You want to really get a lot of birdseed stuck in the peanut butter. Now you have a bird feeder and the kids can watch all the birds that come to eat.
