This angel is made from recycled materials. It will look beautiful hanging on your tree after we glam it up!

Let's help our feathered friends survive winter by making two different types of bird feeders we can hang outside. One is made with peanut butter and pine cones and the other is made by stringing cereal and or dried fruit. There will also be some bird coloring pages for those who would like to color. Afterwards, we'll eat like birds with a healthy snack of nuts and dried fruit. Allergen alert: Peanuts
