Over February recess me and the kids made these very cute bird treats, so we could hang them on the trees outside.I got the idea from one of the library books we rented from our local library. The book is called " Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf" by Lois Ehlert.
All you need to do is use a cookie cutter to cut a heart shape out of a slice of bread.
Brush the heart shaped piece of bread with egg white and cover with wild bird seed. Use a pencil to poke a hole in the top so you can string it with ribbon or yarn once it has dried.
Place it on a plate to dry, then hang out on a tree and later you can watch all kinds of pretty birds come to snack on the treat.
That's awesome, Lydia... I've seen some other home made bird treats in "Birds and Blooms" but their hard to make... yours is easy and so pretty too! Thanks for sharing the secret to some awesome garden delight...
