We read a few books about animals in winter this week. We talked about how animals adapt to the harsh cold winters. The kids learned a few new vocabulary words: adaptation, predator and prey.
At the very end of "Animals in Winter" the book gives instructions on how to make various kinds of bird feeders. We decided to give it a try...
After we made a glorious mess with Crisco and bird seed, we cut out pictures of birds from magazines to decorate bags so we could carry them home. The kids LOVED it!
