Make Some Bird Feeders
Make some easy bird feeders to invite birds into your yard this summer. We made one out of an old milk carton.After washing it out thoroughly and letting it dry, we cut out two squares opposite from one another.

I can't remember what I paid for it but if I remember right it was around $4-$5. Then my son and I planned out the city. We just drew on our canvas ...
