Cheerio Bird Feeders

We decided to try this idea I saw over at Preschool Playbook. So simple and so useful! You could use it during B week for birds, C week for Cheerios or O week for circle shapes (it’s also winter by the time we make it to O week and the birds are hungrier!)

 

1. Let the kids each choose their favorite pipe cleaner color. I found these fun stripy ones at Joann for $0.99.
2. Loop and twist the end (keeps the cheerios from sliding off)
3. Let the kids thread Cheerios (or other O-shaped cereal) on the pipe cleaner.
4. Loop and twist the other end.
5. Hang on a branch outside!
