Eco-friendly Birdhouses

Spring is here, our apple tree is blossoming, so we decided to reuse our juice containers and make birdhouses. This was an easy craft that reinforced the importance of taking care of our earth and the creatures that share it with us.
This one is beautiful hanging in the apple tree, but our favorite one is just outside the dining room window where we get to watch bluejays and cardinals come and feed with their mates. It's so cute, sometimes they even feed each other. The kids are getting pretty good at being able to identify many of our common birds, both male and female and we can all tell the cardinal by it's chirp.
