Building a bird bath with your kids is a great outdoor project that will provide a fun and educational experience for the whole family. Here are the steps to follow:
Materials:
- Large plant saucer or shallow bowl
- Small plant saucer or shallow bowl
- Epoxy or other waterproof adhesive
- Decorative stones or pebbles
- Water
- Birdseed
Instructions:
- Choose a location in your yard for the bird bath. Make sure it is in a shaded area that is protected from wind and predators.
- Place the large plant saucer on the ground in the chosen location.
- Apply a generous amount of epoxy or waterproof adhesive to the bottom of the small plant saucer.
- Center the small plant saucer upside down on top of the large plant saucer.
- Allow the adhesive to dry completely, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Fill the small plant saucer with decorative stones or pebbles. These will provide a non-slip surface for the birds.
- Fill the small plant saucer with water. Make sure the water level is not too deep, as birds prefer shallow water.
- Place birdseed around the bird bath to attract birds to the area.
- Enjoy watching the birds as they come to drink and bathe in the bird bath.
This project is a great way to teach your kids about nature and the importance of providing water for birds in your backyard.
