Empower kids and turn them on to their natural world. There are three designs for birdhouses and nesting boxes: a basic slant-top house made from five pieces of wood; a tin-roofed classic house; and a simple lean-to for wind protection. A variety of bird feeders are included, complete with shaped pie-tin baffles to foil the squirrels. Build and craft scooped-out pumpkin feeders, hollow-log hanging suet feeders, tray ground feeders, and rain-shield covered feeders. Tips are included about how to attract and feed birds; making a simple bird bath; creating a songbird café in a window box; and designing a city bird sanctuary.
