Make a birdbath
You've probably noticed birds using fountains in the park to take a bath. Make a birdbath for your own yard with this craft from the Nat Geo Kids Get Outside Guide by Nancy Honovich and Julie Beer. Then watch as the birds come by to splish and splash!
STEP ONE
Gather up some terra-cotta pots and saucers. Try turning one upside down and then stack one right side up on top of it. Then place a large saucer on top of the highest pot, or turn three different-size pots upside down and stack them in descending order. Then place a large saucer on top.
STEP TWO
Once you have decided on a shape for your birdbath, it’s time to start painting! Spray paint or any other outdoor paint will work. Ask an adult for help. Choose a variety of colors. Try using a small paintbrush to add some designs to make your birdbath unique!
STEP THREE
Once the pots and saucers are dry, have an adult use outdoor permanent glue to attach the pieces and form the design you choose.
STEP FOUR
Once the glue is dry, fill up your birdbath with water! Remember the water in the shallow saucer will evaporate quickly. Keep it filled so the birds can swoop in to freshen up!
