    Here's a close-up of the pine-cone needles after they have been smeared with peanut butter and birdseed.

    Materials (figure A):

    Large pine cone
    Paper plate
    Plastic knife
    Peanut butter
    Birdseed
    Ribbon
    Wire

    1. Attach wire around the top of the pine cone, about 3 sections down.

    2. Use the knife to spread peanut butter inside the sections of the pine cone and around the edges.

    3. Roll the pine cone in the birdseed on the paper plate and press the birdseed into the peanut butter.

    4. Tie a bright bow on the stem at the bottom of the pine cone, or at the top around the wire.

    5. Hang the birdfeeder from a tree.

    Tip: In warm climates, the peanut butter will melt and drip. This is a winter activity!

    Products: Peanut butter and birdseed are available in grocery stores. Pine cones can be picked up in wooded areas, or may be available at floral-supply and craft stores.
