February is Wild Bird Feeding Month…
At our home we have several birds feeders hanging in the yard and the children in my care really enjoy watching them year round through the windows (as do I). February is wild bird feeding month and it’s easy to see why this is important with our -30 degree wind chill that we have been experiencing the past couple days.
How about doing a bird feeding theme this month or at least some crafts or coloring pages to support Wild Bird Feeding Month.
Here are a few links for information, crafts, and ideas that you can share with the children:
- Learn all about bird feeding at the National Bird-Feeding Society.
- All types of information about wild birds at WildBirds.com.
- Backyard Birder covers each aspect of birding with just the right amount of detail. There is a page dedicated to choosing a bird feeder, with pictures of common styles.
- If you don’t have any birds around you home to feed, check out Bird Feeder Cam.
- Learn how to make a bird feeder our of an old milk jug or out of a soda bottle.
- Quizzes, photos, and games at Birder.com.
- Learn more about bird watching at Backyard Birds.
- Duncraft is one of my favorite bird sites with a great bird identification database.
- Some craft ideas at FamilyCrafts.
- Some bird coloring pages.
- More coloring pages.
- More coloring from Preschool Coloring Book.
- Some crafts at DLTK Crafts.
- Bird crafts at Danielle’s Place.
- Great ideas at Preschool Education.com.
- How about making some “bird food” for kids?
- Some more ideas at Everything Preschool.
Have fun, enjoy yourselves, and feed the birds… out little feathered friends will appreciate it.
