As we transition into fall the environment begins to
change and we leave the heat struck summer days behind. This new season is the
perfect time to help get together with family and have fun.
One great thing about fall is that nature suddenly
becomes more active. With the beauty of nature right outside your door, plan a
day for you and your family to get together for a fun mini project. To get into
the spirit of fall and teach kids a lesson about nature, making bird feeders is
a great project. Bird feeders attract birds and provide them with a food
source. By having a feeder you give your family a free lesson on birds and how
they interact with nature.
