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.

What a creative and eco-friendly way to celebrate Earth Day! Making bird seed cookies not only engages students in hands-on learning but also teaches them about sustainability and caring for nature. It’s a fun activity with a meaningful impact!

Activities like this also show how practical experiences can enhance academic learning. For students juggling multiple tasks and subjects, having access to assessment help services can make managing schoolwork less stressful. These services support students in meeting deadlines and understanding complex topics, helping them stay on track while enjoying enriching activities like this one.
