The weather has been so amazing lately, Charli & I have spent a lot of time outside. On Tuesday evening she was finding pinecones for me. With each one she picked up, she was so pleased with herself, so I decided it was time to do our first project together! We were going to make pinecone bird feeders. I tried to think out logistically how this was going to go to avoid as much mess as I could, but of course, with a toddler, that's impossible! I thought if I spread the peanut butter on the pinecones, she could sprinkle the seeds on. That worked for a little while, but then she put her seed-covered hand in her mouth. After that, I just rolled the peanut buttery pinecones in the seeds & she just dunked her hands in the peanut butter jar & ate! They turned out pretty well and I think the birds will be happy! Someday I'm sure she'll be ready to do projects like this, I just need to be patient!
Yum!
