Bird Unit Activities

Last night I set up the table with a few more bird-related activities:


I made these cornstarch-clay eggs earlier this summer to prepare for our bird unit.  The bird's nests aren't very elaborate (I tore up grass late last night and put them in small bowls).  Miraculously the grass didn't wind up all over the room! ED needed a bit of help, but by the second and third time through she could put the egss in the correct nest.


I don't have access to a printer yet, so drew a few bird pictures free-hand.  DD chose a cardinal to color (she added tufts to the top of its head) while ED was a bit more free form!
Be sure to check out My Montessori Journey because she shared a lot of her wonderful ideas relating to a bird-unit they did in their classroom last April or May.
