Hi,
This is what I do with batting and material scraps that are too small to really use, I have my two grandchildren, ages 7 and 4, help out the birds by placing these little pieces in bushes and trees they can reach. It gives them a first-hand lesson about life and helping out other creatures. They fed the birds at home, but now they help the birds build their nests, too. They love it!
