1. Hanging Bird Treats. Teach your little ones about taking care of nature's creatures even when it is cold out. Take a aliminum pie pan fill it with water, cranberries, shelled nuts, bird seed. Taking a loop of cord (so that you can hang it after it is froze) place it in the water and hanging over the edge, freeze the pan either in your freezer or set outside. Then once frozen release the ice block of feed and hang it in a tree for the birdies. It will look beautiful sparkling off the sun and the birds will love it.

You can also smear peanut butter on large pinecones roll them in birdseed and hang them in the trees with cord also.

Prep time: 30 minutes putting together and then freeze time.
Cost: Just the cost of bird seed. Around $5.00

2.Make ice candles out of recycled cardboard milk cartons, plastic containers that you can cut away. Add bits of color with shaved crayons, old colored candles, or pieces of shell from the nuts that you shelled in the above activity.

Get a candle for the center, set it inside the carton, around the outside of the candle inside the container put your bits of color and fill with water up to the edge of the candle but not over it. Freeze, tear away the carton and you have a beautiful ice candle

Prep time: 30 minutes
Cost: Price of the candle, depending on the size anywhere between $1.00 to $10.00
