Birdwatching & Birdhouses

Today we made birdhouses. Then we went outside to find some birds. Some kids made their own binoculars, others took turns looking through my real ones. Those who weren't totally wiped out even made their own little birds out of clay and feathers.



SUPPLIES:
  • Wooden Birdhouses
  • Paint, brushes, jars, rags, towels
  • Glitter
  • Silk flowers, glue
  • Toilet Paper rolls & tape
  • Clay (hair of the dog)
  • Feathers
  • Googly eyes
  • Table cloth, placemats
