If you family is anything like mine, we go through lots of milk jugs. I found this cute idea in a craft book to use them up!
Bird feeders, Cut off the bottom portion of the jug just below the handle, straight all the way around. Punch 4 holes, one on each corner, and tie heavy duty strings evenly to hang. Spread 1 inch of peanut butter in the bottom and top off with bird seed, pushing into the PB. Hang up and enjoy! We will be decorating ours with a little paint for fun. We will also take some pictures of the birds to ID them for a little fun extra science lesson!
The top portions work great as scoops or watering cans for the kids this summer. Just make sure to keep the lids. You can turn them into bath toys, poke some holes in the lids and it becomes a little showering cup!
Can't wait to make these today. My Boys are excited!
