In reply to Deby Gadd. Oh, bless you, Deby. What a wonderful daughter you are. It warms my heart to know that our crafts are being enjoyed by the elderly as well as young children. x

I’m going to introduce these this week to my hooligans. I haven’t tried blueberries on pipe cleaner but it seems tricky, was it?

Thank you for the idea! We chose blueberries for our fruit/vegetable of the month so this activity went well with that choice. We did this activity with toddlers for a local play group. They loved the introduction to pipe cleaners and beading cheerios and berries. And they ate a great deal of the ingredients which was great since they are healthy. A squirrel got to ours before the birds but he did look appreciative.

In reply to Marilyn Kok. Yep! I'm in Canada too, and we've been having sub zero temps for weeks now. Hasn't this winter been something, Marilyn?

Will the birds eat the blueberries once they are frozen? We live in Canada so the berries will absolutely freeze.

I can’t tell you how much I love this! I really appreciate “useful crafts” and my boys will love feeding the birds! (They really enjoyed our last homemade bird feeder, but it was a messy project.) I am featuring this on Makeovers & Motherhood’s Welcome Party Wednesday Link-Up this week! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for this great alternative to the traditional peanut butter-birdseed bird feeders! For the many kids who have nut allergies, this is a wonderful way to feed our feathered friends safely!

I love it. My 3 year-old will love making these and I’ll love that he is working on his fine motor skills. And, I know the birds will love it because we are about to get more snow today!
