Earth Day Activity: Bird Seed Cookies!
Today is the 50th Anniversary of #EarthDay! Let's celebrate with this easy and fun activity for your budding naturalist: Create a Bird Seed Cookie!
Directions
Create this simple bird feeder using bird seed (or use ingredients from your pantry, like sunflower seeds, rice, peanuts, or dried fruit), flour, water, and corn syrup. This is a great way to encourage birds to come to your home.
