Christmas tree for the birds!


Yesterday my nephew and i trimmed a Christmas tree for the birds. We took some pine cones and painted peanut butter on them and rolled them in bird seed. The star was made of popcorn, and we placed it on the tree outside the library. One of the lessons i was going to do with the westport school was tree identification and a scavenger hunt so they can tell what is a good Christmas tree and what is not (example cat spruce.) Unfortunately they cut down a little Christmas tree for the library (it was a cat spruce). So we decided to use it anyway outside for the birds. We will also be placing some holly berries on as well.
