Laura made a bird feeder a few weeks ago and hung it on our balcony. She was quite disappointed when no birds came to visit it. I told her that it was Summer and they weren't really looking for food but they would find it eventually.
The other day we had some birds finally and now they are frequenting the feeder regularly in the mornings. It is so cute to see the little sparrows and chicadees feeding, they are so busy. They also make such a mess but it's worth it to see them feeding. Laura is so proud of her project.
We could have gone out and bought a bird feeder which would have been easy. Laura saw a plan though and got all of the things she needed: an old water bottle, two wooden spoons, string and some bird seed. She spent a little while one afternoon, putting it all together and voila, we have a homemade birdfeeder.
It is so much fun to watch Laura do her little projects. She's been like that since she was just little. I can remember, before she was even in school, she would be watching one of her learning programs and suddenly she would get up and grab her construction paper, glue, scissors, felts and whatever else she needed and an hour or two later she'd have a finished product of something she'd seen on TV.
It's nice to see that she keeps up with her projects. She's always so busy with something on the go.
