Adding a perch
From: Martha
My 9 year old daughter and i tried the birdfeeder and loved it! the only problem was that it didn't have perches for the birds. sooo...we took a small dowel and poked it all the way through the carton. it worked great!

Mosaic Flower Pots
Mosaic pots are just right for creating that springtime feeling ! They are so simple to do and beautiful. This project can be done by kids who are 3 years old and older. To give the pot a genuine mosaic look at least half of the area on the pot should be covered by the broken tile pieces. The addition of "gems" gives the pots a glorious, sparkling look. You can use other materials to decorate your pot such as shells, smooth stones, and dried beans. These are super for any gardener as a Mother's day or Easter gift.

Take time to smell the roses
