Who this list is for
This toilet paper roll bird feeder craft list is for a supervised schoolyard nature activity using recycled cardboard tubes. Check school allergy policies before bringing in birdseed or sunflower seed butter.
How to use this list
Lay out wax paper sheets and paper plates before children begin. Use plastic spreading knives to coat cardboard toilet paper tubes with sunflower seed butter, then roll the tubes in birdseed. Add wooden craft sticks and cotton string for hanging, and use outdoor hanging tags to identify each feeder or its location. Disposable gloves and paper towels help with setup and cleanup.
Common mistakes
Do not begin the project until seed and seed-butter use has been cleared under school allergy policies. Avoid placing the coated tubes directly on tables; wax paper and paper plates catch loose birdseed and sticky residue. Do not hang feeders indoors or in an unapproved location. Keep child-safe scissors available for cutting string rather than tearing it by hand.
