To make peanut butter pine cones for birds, spread peanut butter on a pine cone and roll it in birdseed.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
- Gather your materials: You will need pine cones, peanut butter (smooth or chunky), birdseed, a butter knife or spatula, and a cookie sheet (optional, but helpful for containing the mess).
- Prepare the pine cone: Ensure the pine cone is relatively clean and dry.
- Apply the peanut butter: Use the butter knife or spatula to spread a generous layer of peanut butter all over the pine cone, making sure to get it into all the nooks and crannies. This part can get a little messy!
- Roll in birdseed: Spread birdseed on the cookie sheet. Roll the peanut butter-covered pine cone in the birdseed, pressing gently to ensure the seeds adhere to the peanut butter.
- Hang it up: Find a suitable spot in your garden or yard to hang your peanut butter pine cone. You can use twine or string to attach it to a branch.
Enjoy watching the birds come to feast!
