Collection for the shelter and bird feeders from rolls
- ages 3–11
- 45 min
The class collects pet food for the shelter and makes simple bird feeders.
Steps
- A week earlier, announce a collection of food and blankets for the nearest shelter.
- On the holiday, a conversation: how we care for domestic and wild animals.
- Children smear toilet paper rolls with unsalted peanut butter or lard and roll them in seeds.
- Hang the feeders on trees near the school, and hand over the gifts to the shelter.
Tip: We feed birds from November; in October, the feeder can just hang as a test.
Materials needed
- Seed mix for wild birds (1 kg per group)
- Jute twine (1 spool)
- Aprons for children (1 per child)
