Hello
What a wonderful time of year here in Canada as Spring emerges and warmer temperatures prevail.
My little people wanted to learn more about birds and wanted to go bird watching so that's what we did....so much fun and so much learning happened.
So here's what we did this week.
Cardinals Nesting
Simple circle folded and cut to make the wings.
See here for step by step
Owl
We made this cute little owl craft by folding some brown paper to make the trunk of the tree.
Paper Plate Bird
We made these simple paper plate Robins and of course, we had to add a worm to his mouth.
Paper Birds
These are simple printouts that the kids coloured.
BIRD WATCHING DAY
Paper Tube Binoculars
Bird Watching Day was such a wonderful experience. We took our binoculars and our bird books and headed down to the woods. We saw or heard the birds in our books.
We heard a few that weren't in our books, so when we got home, I printed a few more off and they coloured them to add to their book.
Amazing how many of the birds they could identify.
We also saw the trilliums (wildflower of Ontario).
This was a piece of bark we found on the ground, so we turned it over. The woodpecker had pecked holes in it and the bugs had burrowed tunnels into the bark. So interesting.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
Your little ones had another fun and educational week. It's great to get them outside too Karen and explore, which they sure looked like they enjoyed. The binoculars looked fun and love the 'worm' in the robin's mouth! Thanks for letting me know about the trilliums....see, learning all the time x.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, what a fun day this was, getting out to the woods to spot the local birds, and your projects are fabulous. Your little ones to so well with the projects and I think their colouring is brilliant. That's a lovely delicate little flower too, Kate x
