Looking for some crafts for Family Day that the kids won’t find too lame? That don’t require a lot of work? That don’t require any artistic ability?!  We’ve got you.

We came across this one and we like it for a few reasons. You may have these all these things at home (even if you don’t, there are literally 2 ingredients), and it’s useful!

No-Bake Birdseed Ornaments

Ingredients:

-Coconut oil

-Birdseed (any kind)

Supplies:

-Cookie cutters

-Straw

-Twine or ribbon

-Wax paper

Steps:

-Measure the coconut oil into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave until oil melts, about 30 sec. Add birdseed and mix well.

-Place cookie cutters on a small parchment-lined baking tray. Fill with the birdseed mixture. Using a straw or skewer, poke a hole in the top of each ornament.

-Refrigerate until ornaments harden. Carefully remove the cookie cutters. Insert a piece of ribbon/twine through the hole to create a loop. Hang your ornaments outside and wait for the birds to arrive.

Sings softly……”My bird feeder brings all the birds to the yard”.
