~Reduce, Reuse and Recycle - Bird Feeders


Since we've been staying with Jeremy and Echelle we've been going through gallons of milk. I decided that all these empty milk jugs would be a great project for the kids. Plus it would reduce the amount of recycling and trash.








I did all the prep work and the kids did the decorating. Simon was more interested in painting the newspaper, but the bird feeders turned out great! Very colorful.



































Jeremy and Echelle's girls also had fun with the project. The birds in this neighborhood are going to be well fed. We have five bird feeders in one tree!

Such a cute idea! My kids would love that! We have actually been saving milk containers to use for 72 hour food kits! My kids would have so much fun painting them!
