Birds are fascinating creatures to watch and fun to learn about. Invite birds into your yard with a homemade bird feeder so that your kids can learn to appreciate these animals. Get the whole family involved and you have a fun and educational activity to do together.

Your child will enjoy helping you create a place for birds to come and eat and they will delight in seeing their feathered friends eat from their creation. I’ve got a great collection of homemade bird feeders kids can make to share with you today.
In addition to making a bird feeder, I would also recommend getting a bird field guide to have handy for identifying the birds you see. This is one that we have and enjoy. My children like to sit outside with a field guide, binoculars, and a notebook and pencil to keep track of the birds they see.

Thank you for including our bird feeder wreath – we love making bird feeders every fall and spring, so I’ll definitely be saving this collection for later 🙂

Love that toilet paper roll bird feeder! Simple yet effective, and it’s a nice way to “recycle” your toilet paper rolls 🙂
