I don't know if you are familiar with the web site
Ana-White.com, but we are big fans. She has a ton of different do-it-yourself projects with step by step instructions on how to build stuff. Everything from a bird feeder to a bunk bed or fort!
Trigg wanted a project to do, so I found him plans for this
bird feeder on her website
Trigg worked through the plans marking out all the cuts. First, I showed him how I measure and mark...
...then he tried it on his own!
Garrett supervised the project!
Once the measurements were made, I made the cuts. Safety first...ear muffs to protect those ears!
Next, it was time to assemble. It was Trigg's choice if he wanted to use nails or screws. He is a fan of the hammer, so he chose nails! I pre-drilled the holes and he hammered everything together.
Here is the assembled bird feeder!
Another successful project!
Then Trigg wanted to add some color, he had a method for his painting, each color was for a different bird that he hopes would come to the bird feeder.
Red - Cardinal
Orange - Oriole
Blue - Blue Jay
Yellow - Gold finch
We hung the feeder in the tree and filled it up with bird seed, so far it has only attracted sparrows, but they are still fun to watch!
