I just came across a very simple method for making a bird feeder with children. An adult or older child is needed for doing the cutting into the milk carton but younger children could also help by rinsing out the milk jug, helping poke the sticks in the holes for the perches & helping put the bird seed in.
You likely have the needed supplies for this project right now in your home & garage!

I'm going to make one today with my daughters.
