Who this list is for
This recycled carton bird feeder sign craft is for 7-year-olds decorating an identification sign beside a bird feeder prepared by an adult. It does not involve handling wildlife or feeding birds directly.
How to use this list
Begin with a flattened, clean juice carton panel and cover the work area with paper towels. Paint the panel with white acrylic paint and the two washable acrylic paint colors using foam paintbrushes. Add bird picture printouts with the glue stick, write labels with the waterproof marker, and protect the sign with the clear self-adhesive laminating sheet. Punch a hole and add outdoor-safe string.
Common mistakes
Do not use a carton panel that still has food residue or moisture. Let paint dry before applying the laminating sheet, or the surface may wrinkle. Keep the string and hole punch for the sign only; an adult should decide where the finished sign goes near the feeder.
