Plan Some 'Bird-Brained' Learning Activities

Have migrating birds come back to your area for the spring? Help your child sharpen her powers of observation while introducing her to these feathered friends.

Here's how:

Look for birds in your neighborhood with your child. Which types do you see most often? Can you identify them?
Help your child make drawings of the different shapes of bird beaks you see.
Go online with your child to look for bird identification websites or apps. Or check out a guide to birds from your region from the library. Try to identify the birds you have seen.
Make a homemade bird feeder together and watch the birds as they enjoy the food you set out for them. Have your child continue to draw new species she sees.
