Feed the Birds


Today was a glorious and sunny winter day. First, we colored pictures of a red cardinal and glued bright red feathers on for a 3D effect. Then we headed outside with a jar of peanut butter, a bowl of birdseed, and a basket for collecting. We found a variety of acorns in all shapes and sizes and put them in our basket. Then, we found a nice sunny spot in the yard and got to work.

What are we going to do today?


Everybody grabbed a spoon and we covered our acorns with peanut butter, and then we smothered them with birdseed by dipping them in the bowl.
