This month's craft is "Make Your Own Birdhouse". It is a great craft that takes a basic milk carton and turns it into a great place for birds to call home. You can hang the finished birdhouse outside when you are done. We have provided instructions but feel free to add your own uniqueness and creativity to the craft.

This craft does require parental supervision so we hope that parents and kids have a great time crafting together! If you have any questions while doing the craft, please click on Contact Us and we will respond as quickly as possible.
