School Days: Animals in Winter

Before I go into what we did this week, here's the craft from last week that we didn't get to..coffee creamer snowmen!








This week was kind of a continuation of last week. This week we talked about animals in winter: migration, hibernation and how it's harder for animals to find food in the winter. Our big project was to help feed the animals (birds and squirrels).

Toast, peanut butter and bird seed:




Orange peel, peanut butter and bird seed:


And fruit strung on pipe cleaners:


Maddy was more interested in moving seeds from one bowl to another with a spoon:


In our tree:


A couple of the toast cut outs broke:


Pipe cleaner feeders:


Then we threw the rest of the pieces of toast and some popcorn around the yard:


We had many more squirrels than birds and most of the birds we did have flew away when I tried to get pictures.
