Winter is a lean time for wild birds. Show the children how they can be kind to their feathered friends by making seeded cones. It is easy, it has an end product, and it is very, very messy - so children will love it!
To make the most of this project, follow the process through from the beginning. Take the children for a walk to look for the biggest fir cones they can find, although sprigs of small cones will do. Look under big trees, because sturdy cones will lie around in dry sheltered spots from one season to the next.
