Make a bird box using a milk
bottle carton
Cut a circle in each milk carton (cut one out of
paper first then trace it onto the carton)
Paint the milk cartons with white paint and
let it dry
Get creative - decorate in any way you like
(paint/tissue paper like in the picture)
Cut a little slit and push a stick through (twig,
lolly pop stick or wooden spoon)
Make a hole and thread through some wool or
string to use for hanging
Fill with seeds for birds to enjoy

TIP – varnish your bird box to protect it
