Bird Treat Ornaments

I'm really excited to be a part of the September Fall Crawl!  There are so many talented bloggers along the crawl and I'm honored to be a part of it.  Today I wanted to share a craft that everyone can do - even the little ones!  I decided on bird treat ornaments:

I got this one from a great fall picture book, Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf by Lois Ehlert, and it couldn't be simpler!

To make your own, start by using cookie cutters to cut shapes out of bread.
Brush on some egg white and press the bread into some wild birdseed.

Use a drinking straw to poke a hole and loop some ribbon or twine through to make a hanger.

Here's my 3 year old hanging it (closely supervised by the dog who is desperately hoping he'll drop that bread).

I think they look very festive all hanging from the tree:

Here's one my son did all. by. himself.

It's a ghost.  Isn't it scary???? That's what he was going for.  :)

Tomorrow Abby at Dirt on the Rocks will be featuring her own fall craft.  Remember to check it out! 

 There's also a link party so be sure to share your own fall craft!
