This charming bird house looks beautiful in the garden or on the balcony. The crafting serves to deal with the material, to see how beautiful packaging material can emerge. This bird house is a design idea and serves only for decoration, but maybe a bird comes by and admires your building. Try it out and let your own ideas arise! Have fun!
Media Education for Kindergarten and Hort
Relief in everyday life, targeted promotion of individual children, independent learning and - without any pre-knowledge already usable by the youngest!
First you wash an empty tetrapack.
Then you paint a circle on the top half of the front.
For this purpose, for example, place a screw-glass lid as a template. Then, with the scissors, you punch a hole in the middle of the circle.
Now take the scissors into the hole and cut radially to the outer line of the circle.
After that, you cut off one tip at a time. With this technique, cutting out the circle also works for younger children.
Then you put a branch with a length of approx.20cm under the hole through the beverage pack.
To do this, use a pair of scissors to punch a small hole in the box and from there small incisions up and, left and right. Try whether your branch is already holding in the hole.
Then paint the Tetrapack with waterproof paint (e.g. acrylic paint).
Now let the paint dry.
If the paint does not cover completely, then apply the carton again after drying. Sometimes two paints are necessary.
Design the box according to your ideas. Maybe with a pattern or with flowers?
In order to protect the cardboard from rain, you now build a weatherproof roof on the bird's house. For this, you put two aluminium lids over the cardboard and bend them over each other. Make sure that the aluminium lids extend over the edge of the cardboard.
Then you punch the aluminium roof and the cardboard in the upper middle a hole to hang up. Use a hole plier.
Now you thread a piece of wire through the hole and twist the ends of the wire together.
Find a place in the garden or on the balcony and hang the birdhouse.
This house is a decoration, but maybe a little bird will come by and admire your building.
Have fun in being creative!
