This morning we read About Birds: A Guide for Children by Cathryn Sill while having a little snack. Then we completed a BIRDS letter sheet and cut/paste the various birds we see on our property in our journal (8 in total), while listening to their calls. Also completed a few worksheets on the letter N and numbers (counting, fewer/more).

After lunch we read Mama Built a Little Nest by Jennifer Ward and started building our own little nest with various materials I had on hand. Someone was a bit tired so we are going to finish it during the week. We love birds and watch them everyday here at home so this is a pretty fun week for us.

It’s winter birds week! Last night we made a bunch of homemade bird feeders for our little friends and this morning I hung them up around our property and left a few on the ground for the doves and squirrels. I also left one in a little sanctuary I created in one of our bushes the birds love to hang out in. We made a few from pine cones, two using toilet paper rolls and then some tiny cupcakes, all with peanut butter and bird seed. Looking forward to more projects today with my boy.
