You can make your very own bird feeder that’s so delicious birds will eat it up. That’s why it’s Dot’s Edible Bird Feeder!. Follow the steps below and observe what happens!

What to do:

1. Select a bird feeder base:Pine cones are a popular foundation for a bird feeder, but you may also use an empty paper towel roll or a stale piece of bread.

2. Make it sticky:Coat the base with peanut butter. If you know someone who has peanut allergies, use honey instead.

3. Add some goodies:Roll the feeder in raisins, cranberries, unsalted and unbuttered popcorn, sunflower seeds, shelled plain peanuts or mixed bird seed.

4. String it up:Run a wire, dental floss or cotton string through your birdfeeder. Secure the two ends together to make a loop.

4. Hang it up:Place your bird feeder on a hook or on a tree branch outside your window. Discover which birds are popular in your neighborhood, research what they like to eat and make a bird feeder for them.

Wild Kratts Wildlife Journal


Keeping a wildlife journal is a great way to build both observation and writing skills. You don’t have to go far – you’d be surprised what is going on just outside your front door!

Directions

1. Fold several sheets of paper in half so that you create a booklet.

2. Bind the pages of your book by punching holes along the left side and tying them together with ribbon or string. Or unfold the booklet and staple along the fold.

3. Customize the journal by creating an illustration on the cover.

• Several sheets of unlined paper

• Hole punch or stapler for binding

• Ribbon or string to bind• Markers, pencils or

crayons

Creating the Journal:(You may want to ask an adult for some help.)

1. Write the day’s date.

2. Go outside and walk in your yard, along your street, or in a nearby park and take notice of what you see.

• Did you see any animals? Birds? Insects?

• Where are they living?

• What are they doing?

• How many are there?

• What time of day is it?

3. Write down notes or sketch a picture in your journal, so that you have a record of the thing you saw.

4. After a few entries, take a look back at the things you saw. How were things different each time? What was the same?
