We've been doing some fun Christmas crafts lately, the most recent being birdseed pinecones. With no snow on the ground and still plentiful berries on the trees (not to mention a not-yet-composted compost bin full of kitchen scraps), the birds aren't exactly wasting away around here, but it was still a fun activity.
Jena, David and Andrew joined us for this sensory exploration.
Jena wisely supervised David's peanut butter spreading, while I left Ryan to his own devices (meaning, he just ate all his peanut butter and ignored the pinecone and birdseed).
Two smears of PB and a scoop of birdseed and he was "All done, Mama!"
David wanted to make sure his birds got a LOT of protein.
Jack engaged in his fair share of taste-testing...
...including quality control of the birdseed!
So proud of his pinecone masterpiece!
David also created a birdseed beauty.
The finished feast.
Once there was no more peanut butter to consume, Ryan was off to play in the basement. Jack and David, however, really enjoyed the tactile experience of scooping the seed using different utensils and moving it back and forth between containers.
Jena made another pinecone feeder while Andrew supervised...
Apparently he was more interested in taste-testing and quality-control, too...
