Pumpkin Bird Feeder

May arts finds a great use for the left over Halloween pumpkins filling the bottom scooped out half with bird seed and hanging in a tree.  The birds will come and just sit in the middle.  Kids can also predict how long the pumpkin will last outside before it begins to decompose or the animals start to eat it too.  

Good for ages 4 and up.
