Learning About Birds: 7 Activities for Young Children

February 17, 2013 by Maureen Spell 2 Comments

 Learning About Birds

Are you participating in the  Great Backyard Bird Count?  My kids are very interested in learning about birds, so I came up with some bird activities to last through the month. Each day this week we will go on a bird hunt and see what type of bird we can spy with our little eye. We’ll pick one to study more in-depth. To help us, I created a simple notebooking page to record our findings:

We’ll also revisit some of the previous bird activities we have done in the past.
