You will need:

• One apple each
• An apple corer (OPTIONAL)
• Two small sticks each (dowling is fine if you can’t get twigs)
• String
• Sunflower Seeds

To begin:

• Core your apples so that they are ready to use, and lay out your materials.

Then:

• Thread the string through the apple.
• Make an ‘X’ with the sticks and tie them to the string so the apple sits on top.
• Make a pattern by pushing the seeds into the apple, then it’s ready to hang up!

You could also:

• Once the feeder is hanging in your garden you could use it as a focus to come back to and discuss each day.
• Which birds do you see on it?
• What time is it busiest?
• Are there other treats that you could add to it instead of sunflowers?
