peanut-free DIY bird feeder

May 15, 2015

We made a simple DIY bird feeder this week to get excited for spring and new life!  This DIY project is fun for children to create on their own, and our version is also peanut-free, so it is safe to try with your peanut-free child, or in a school that practices allergy awareness!

This Bible activity is part of our Crafts through the Bible series.  We are reading through the Bible and doing some crafts and activities with the amazing God’s Little Explorers Preschool curriculum! This craft is a hands-on activity that I thought that we should add while reading the story of Moses and the Israelites and doing some of the other activities together.  This peanut-free bird feeder is a nice way to remember the story of God’s people in the wilderness, and that God took of care of them by providing manna and quail each day for sustenance.
We just read through the story of Exodus 16.  It describes the small pieces of bread that God created, like the dew in the morning, like the coriander seed, wafers of honey.  This stuff was sweet and delicious — how amazing is God?!  He provided wafers of honey, mm mm!!  I had thought about baking something and leaving it for the kids to find, but that wasn’t real practical given all the birds and critters we have around here.  So we took the second portion of what God sent down, quails.  He provided quails (tasted like chicken) for the Israelites.  So we “fed the quails” with our peanut-free DIY bird feeder!

Our supplies consisted of some birdseed from the garage, some pinecones collected from our next door neighbors yard, yarn, and some sunflower butter!  My son is allergic to peanuts, but we occasionally will make a jelly sandwich or fill celery sticks up with sunflower butter!

I tied the yarn around three pine cones for child to make a nice hanging feeder.  Then I invited the children to roll their pinecones in the sunflower butter.  This got pretty messy, but my daughter loved it!  John, my sensory sensitive boy, didn’t love it as much, but he was willing to roll it in the birdseed, the next step.

It was cold the day that we created these, so we had to wait until the afternoon to tie them up.  John was very excited to put his on “his tree” and May’s on “May’s tree” — they are the smaller trees in the backyard :)

It got pretty messy, so another fun option would be to create these outside.

Handing on the tree.  A delightful treat for the birds of the air.

“Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”  Matthew 10:31
