National Bird Day

Today is National Bird Day. I love incorporating all the little "holidays" and special events going on throughout the year into our workboxes.  Today, my kids learned about bird habitats, different types of birds, and did some little activities in a workbook about birds that I found at the Target Dollar Spot last year. Later today, they will be making some bird feeders out of oranges. Hopefully, we will attract a variety of birds and we will be able to take some pictures! Happy National Bird Day to you!

  2. Cool, I never knew there was a National Bird Day! I will try to do something for it next year. I just wanted to wave and say "hi" as I'm a new follower of yours. I'm a fellow homeschool mom and looking forward to reading more of your blog.

  4. We read a book about birds, watched birds in our yard (from inside, very wet here), and I printed out bird coloring pages for him. I can't wait for next year when we'll be able to do more stuff (he just turned 2).

    I think that being able to do special and fun stuff on all these neat holidays is one of the big benefits of being a homeschooler!
