Great for groups of kids, particularly boys! This well known craft is often done with the Cub & Boy Scouts, along with the Girl Scouts and elementary schools everywhere. So just in case you forgot, here are a few sources that offer up different ways in which to make these fun and easy group projects.

Thanks for including my bird feeder craft!
Good post and good advice as well for something to get young people involved in preserving our precious wildlife. I remember getting a number of badges for building my first bird feeder with the scouts. I can’t quite remember the detail but I know I got a wood carving one, a wildlife one and one to do with the environment. It also made me a long life lover of wild birds.
Hi there! I was wondering if I could use one of your pictures of your pine cone bird feeder for a presentation I’m making. Please email me and let me know. Thanks!
