Milk Carton Birdhouse

Recently, Ava was in the mood to make a project. An empty milk carton was the inspiration for our afternoon activity. We decided to make a birdhouse. We rinsed the carton and cut a hole in it for a door. We found some glue, tongue depressors, and foam stickers. We then set out for a nature walk (which really just meant a walk around the house since everyone else was still in the house napping.) Ava carefully selected leaves, sticks, and flowers to decorate the house. The pictures below show the steps she took to create her own birdhouse!

We sided the house with tongue depressors.

Ava chose to cover the roof with leaves and sticks.

Her completed project! Now we just need to find the perfect place to hang it and wait for a feathered friend to move in!
