Teach kids about caring for the creatures in their garden. A juice carton is the perfect waterproof house for birdseed, and it’s easy for little hands to paint.

  • Steps:
    • Cut a large hole in the side of the carton.
    • Let the kids paint the outside like a bright cottage.
    • Poke the stick through the bottom to make a seat for the birds.
