We planted some miniature sunflower seeds into a pot

Here’s M watering the seeds

First we got some blue paper to make the boys’ prints on

I squeezed some yellow, non-toxic, washable paint onto a paper plate and pressed the boys’ hands onto it, making sure to get it completely covered. Then I helped the boys press their hands onto the blue paper

We pressed the handprints onto the paper in an overlapping, circular pattern

Then I cut a stem and some leaves out of green paper and glued them on (B’s is on the left and M’s is on the right)

When the prints dried, I squirted A LOT of white glue into the centre of the sunflower and had M sprinkle some sunflower seeds on top

Baby B is a fan of the spinach smoothie too!

Start by adding 2 packets of Knox gelatin to 2/3 cups of water until it dissolves. Bring it to a simmer then remove it from the heat

Add 2 cups of bird seed and stir to combine. Let it cool for a few minutes

Place cookie cutters onto a tray with parchment paper, and spray the insides with non-stick cooking spray

Spoon the birdseed mixture into the cookie cutters. Poke a hole through the birdseed with a cut-down straw in order to thread a string or piece of twine through them for hanging

Refrigerate for about an hour, then remove the cookie cutters and tie the twine or string through the bird feeder shapes
