Teaching Tots- Bird Week

In March, I shared that I was so excited to have two days off with the girls and that I was bringing back my "Teaching Tots" series. Well, it's May, and I have yet to write one post and share any activities with y'all! I find that my days are full of picking up toys, vacuuming dog hair, feeding a baby, putting baby to bed, and making lunch followed by clean up and dinner. So, here's to hoping that I can bring you a few lesson plan ideas of your own!

I allowed G to choose our learning themes. I wanted her to have something that she wanted to learn about, so she would be interested. For our first week, she chose, "Birds". 

I went on dltk-kids.com website and printed out a few bird coloring pages. She is working on her cutting skills, so I wanted to chose a picture that would encourage those skills. 

 G decided that she didn't want to use her crayons. She prefers pencils, because it's more "grown up" and writing versus coloring.

After cutting out the pieces and glueing them together, we worked on signing "bird". She's very interested in learning sign language right now.

Here are a few more 'bird' activities you can do with your child:
~ Go on a nature walk and look for birds. Talk about their colors and the different types you see.
~ Paint with feathers, that you've picked up at a craft supply store.
~ Make Birds Nest Cookies using peanut butter, butterscotch, and chinese noodles.

Enjoy your day with your little tot and let me know if you try any of these activities or have other bird-related activities you've tried!
