Acelia said this was the funnest craft so far......

I knew we would be making these when I saw them on

~The Simple Woman~

So.....

I kept an eye out for the perfect cookie cutter....

Last Saturday was my first trip to Cakes By Jan, (one of my new favorites!)
where I found this cute bird house cookie cutter!

It's perfect!

So, once you get your sugar cookies done you tie some string to each one......

(Acelia and I did this before you apply the peanut butter...I could see this being a mess of epic proportions...trying to get the string through a little hole packed with peanut butter!!!)

This is what I had on hand but you could use ribbon, twine, or anything else you have !

We strung them all and now comes the fun part.........




Spread a generous amount of crunchy peanut butter on the sugar cookie

then press into a bowl of bird seed!!

Then bundle up and go hang them on a tree nearby!!!

This was so much fun, and little ones would love doing the spreading and then pressing the bird seed all over the cookie! Then bundle them all up and go feed the birds!!
