Is today's forecast strictly for the birds? Find out by making this old-fashioned weather device that measures "birdometric" pressure with the help of a friendly yarn worm.
| Prep Time: About 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Craft foam in several colors
Scissors Glue Hole puncher Yarn Paper Crayon or marker | |
| Seasons: Year round | |
| Materials: craft foam, yarn | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Using a variety of craft foam colors, cut out 2 rectangles
(ours were 6 1/2 by 8 1/2 and 5 1/2 by 6 inches), the bird's
body, wing, and beak. |
| 2. | Hot-glue the foam pieces together as shown, attach an eye, punch a hole beside the bird's beak for the yarn worm to wiggle through, and knot both ends of the yarn. |
| 3. | Complete the project by jotting down potential weather conditions and hanging the birdometer outside to consult before braving the blustery March weather. |
