This simple egg carton bird feeder is a fun Earth Day activity for kids to attract birds to your yard. We always see cardinals, doves, mockingbirds and other birds in our backyard. My boys thought it would be a good idea to provide extra food for our little visitors. Since I saved so many egg cartons for Easter and other spring projects, it only made sense to use one to make our bird feeder. This eco-friendly project for kids will provide a fun learning experience. Keep scrolling to get started!
