Each year my children and I make gingerbread houses to display in our kitchen during the holidays. I always hated tossing them away after Christmas, so one year, on a cold January day, I decided we could easily recycle them into bird and squirrel feeders. It was so much fun and the kids made all the neighborhood wildlife very happy. My daughter said the best part of all the fun was that she made two gingerbread houses in one year.
It’s so easy...remove any hard candies and candy canes from the gingerbread house. Generously spread peanut butter over the house as if you were icing the house to decorate it. Decorate the house with lots of wildlife-friendly food..a door made of crackers, corner posts of pretzel sticks, a roof covered in shredded wheat cereal, raisin and bird seed-covered walls. Your family will really enjoy seeing the birds and squirrels that come to visit, but place the house off the ground. The neighbor’s dog ate our first gingerbread birdhouse, so now we place it in an area he can’t reach!
