Feeding birds and observing them from the comfort and warmth of indoors is a great, cheap (no pun intended) entertaining and educational activity for kids.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n Sofia was bought a Wildlife World Me and My Birds Wild Bird Feed Making Kit\u00a0and it is great.<\/p>\n I’ve been fascinated with our feathered friends since I was little as my grandad had an aviary. I was also a member of the RSPB<\/a>‘s youth branch – so this was right up my street.\u00a0It’s probably no coincidence that the twins’ third word after ‘mummy’ and ‘daddy’ was ‘bird’.<\/p>\n The instructions are really easy to follow and there is one ‘recipe’ which involves combining the ‘magic mix’ (which looks a bit like powdered custard), water and bird feed mix, and then adding the fruit and seeds. This can be used for three different feeding methods: feeding log, cup cake or cookie shape.<\/p>\nThe kit contains:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
1 x Bright mixing bowl\n 2 x Bird cookie shape cutters\n 1 x Natural feeding log\n 3 x Pastel shade cup cake casts\n 1 x Wooden spoon\n 1 x Bag of \u2018magic mix\u2019\n 2 x Coloured ropes\n 1 x Wooden perch stick\n Rice paper decorating flowers\n 1 x Bag of bird feed mix\n 1 x Small pack of fruit and seeds for decoration\n 1 x Garden bird feeding and recording book<\/pre>\n
