Let’s face it, it rains a lot during the month of April! If you are throwing a birthday party for your little one this month, it’d be wise to have a few indoor activities ready — like the one I found below from familyfun.go.com! It’s easy and perfect for spring!

Materials:

• Clean 1-liter soda bottle
• Craft knife
• 2 wooden spoons
• small eye screw
• Length of twine for hanging

Instructions:

• Start by drawing a 1/2-inch asterisk on the side of a clean 1-liter soda bottle, about 4 inches from the bottom. Rotate the bottle 90 degrees and draw another asterisk
• 2 inches from the bottom. Draw a 1-inch-wide circle opposite each asterisk, as shown.
• Use a craft knife to slit the asterisk lines and cut out the circles (a parent’s job). Insert a wooden spoon handle first through each hole and then through the opposite asterisk, as shown.
• Remove the bottle cap and twist a small eye screw into the top of it for hanging.
• Finally, fill your feeder with birdseed, recap it, and use a length of twine to hang it from a tree.
