Holiday Gifts for the Birds: Story, Craft and Ramble in the Woods For Kids

Hosted by the Huntington-Oyster Bay Audubon Society


Winter is fast approaching and soon our feathered friends are going to be seeking extra food. Today we will learn how to give them a little assist! We will start by reading, “First Snow in the Woods” to hear this wonderful story of how our wild neighbors prepare for the changing of the seasons. We will then turn crafty and use pine cones, suet, dried fruits and bird seed to make handmade bird feeders. Once done, we will hang our feeders on a special holiday tree set up in the children’s garden of the library, and then take a winter’s ramble in the woods! This project is for kids of all ages and is easy enough for young children to enjoy.


Please note that most birdseed is processed in plants that also process peanuts if allergies are an issue.
