Bird Center

Posted by Cindy on July 5, 2007

Here’s the newest summer center at our house – Birds!

The box of books on the right includes nonfiction books about all sorts of birds – everything from birds we see around here to penguins to toucans.  I’ve also included some really good children’s literature that have birds as characters – Make Way For Ducklings, Angelo, and The Raft to name a few.

The books laying out are bird identification and drawing guides.  These will be used with their nature notebooks as they go bird watching.  That just reminded me, I need to set out binoculars.  I’ll do a post soon about the nature notebooks.  I just love these!  (Ignore the toes in the picture!) 

I found the little birdhouses at The Dollar Tree for……….$1.00!  I’ve also set out a bird memory game and some bird activity sheets that I found in Considering God’s Creation.  Finally, the game in the back on the left is really pushing it to fit into the bird theme.  It’s a spelling game with bird pictures on the back of the cards!  Ha Ha!  Whatever works, right?
