Squirrel Feeder

Today, we tried to make a squirrel feeder. The bigger goal was to let Dougie work on his fine motor skills. We got the idea from, Chasing Cheerios, a blog I read that has a lot of great ideas for home activities with the kids. Unfortunately for us, it worked out a lot better for her.

I showed Dougie what we were doing a few times and then let him have a chance. He understood right away and started to thread on the Cheerios.



Then things went wrong - very wrong.

The main issue was that we did this activity right before lunch. That was a mistake.





We'll have to try again another time when Dougie isn't as hungry. Hopefully, the squirrels can get some then.
