Last week I did a fun and easy craft with the girls. We decided to make bird feeders. We took old bagels and covered them with Crisco. Then we dunked them in bird seed and hung them in the tree with some string. I think we hung them on Tuesday morning, and we've been watching all week to see if any birds are interested in eating them. We have seen a lot of birds, but we haven't seen any eating off of our bird feeders. We woke up this morning to find our bird feeders completely gone! Claire asked, "What do you think ate them?" I said, "Probably a bird or a squirrel or a chipmunk." Meredith added her own theory...."I think a giraffe ate them! They have long necks that can reach up in trees!"
Logical thought process on a certain level...deer, maybe....but giraffe, not so much around here. Where does she come up with this stuff? Regardless of where it comes from, it makes me laugh, and so I'm thankful! :)

Hey! great idea to use bagels. I'll probably just roll them in peanut butter. I wish I'd read your post before last weekend... I was at a loss to figure out what to do for a neighborhood craft project since I couldn't find pinecones at the craft store. Luckily I had pinecones in the holiday decorations but would have loves to do bagels instead. Next time!
