    We collected a few materials we already had, and started working to make our very first squirrel feeder!

    We experimented with different ways our slinky could hold the nuts. It seemed to work best when it was in a half circle. Using the pipe cleaner to hold it together worked great.

    We filled it with nuts and were ready to head to the yard to hang it from our tree.

    We placed it close to a branch since squirrels don't fly! The next day we saw our little visitors stopping by for a snack. It was an exciting moment in our house!
