Mia loves the birds in our backyard so we decided to make a cute little bird feeder for them in our backyard made of pipe cleaners and cheerios

This could not be any easier to make all you need is:

Cheerios ( I chose the Multi Grain ) and pipe cleaners ( any colors you wish to use)

Directions:

String the Cheerios on the pipe cleaner ( a great activity for toddlers using their fine motor skills)

Mia did a little taste testing making sure the Cheerios would be good enough for her birdie friends

and they were good : )

and mold the pipe cleaner into any shape you want ( we did ovals) and connected them together

and then headed outside to hang our bird feeder

Not only does this activity teach fine motor skills by putting the cheerios on the pipe cleaners but it also teaches our kids to take care of animals!

It was a fun activity and we will be doing it again soon
