We're celebrating Spring with 15 of our favourite bird activities. Whether you're looking for outdoor activities or indoor crafts, there's something for all mini ornithologists to explore here.
:: Create a Birdwatching station to observe & record the birds in your garden.
:: Make some Wild Bird Pen Toppers to help you draw & record all your observations. These also double-up as great little storytelling puppets too.
:: Design some Paperclip Birds, perfect for some small world play.
:: This Garden Play scene is ideal to use with the Paperclip Birds, & even includes pop-up worms! You could create different scenes or landscapes, such as a forest, beach, or garden. A fun way for children to consider which birds would visit each landscape, & what food would be available for them?
:: Create a pop-up Bird Puppet in a nest using a paper plate & twigs.
:: Create a No-Sew Sock Owl with recycled odd socks from your laundry basket.
:: These Owl Peg Puppets made from recycled materials are great for indoor or outdoor play.
:: Collect some bird feathers & create your own fabulous feather quill pen
:: Explore the magic of mud in your backyard & build a Nest for the Birds.
:: Create some outdoor art with these Nature Owls.
:: Discover what it's like to be a bird & build yourself a giant nest to sit it!
