Activity of the Week

Bird Feeder Strings

This week you can have fun combining language about different foods together with language about different birds.

Start by making bird feeding strings. 
- You will need heavy string, a cereal with a hole in the middle (like an oat cereal) or pretzels or other kinds of food that you can pull the string through.
- Pull the string through the chosen food
- Tie the string onto a tree or on your porch so that you can observe the birds coming to eat it

While making the bird feeder strings, discuss the different foods and how they were made.  What kinds of ingredients are common to each?  Then enjoy discussing the different kinds of birds in your area and watching them enjoy your bird feeder strings!
