I wanted to share to you our Bird Study which we had last week. We did this last year, but since my son is getting a bit older I added a few activities so he can understand birds a little bit deeper.
First we started with Parts of the Bird nomenclature card and booklet (all included in The Bird Pack).
We matched birds using our Bird Cards and the our bird collections coming from Safari Toobs (Exotic Birds, Down Under, Penguin and Farm) and Schleich.
All birds found in Safari Toob Exotic Birds have a matching card which also included the The Bird printable pack. then I also added a few more bird cards so we can discuss the different kinds of birds.
I think he never outgrows matching! He still loves them even if he's been doing this activity for years!
Seen below, we are discussing the different kinds of birds, their characteristics, unique features and how they differ from others. I will try to come up with a free printable for this one after I summarize the data, as it is worth sharing :)
Then of course, we discuss the different parts of the bird using our Bird Definition Booklet. Then I had my son do our homemade bird puzzle and put labels on each part.
Next post is still on birds, we're doing worksheets, differentiate beaks and bird's feet.
