It’s Spring!! Hurray!! I already hear all the birds starting to sing and I love it!! In honor of the warmer Spring weather we made a Bird house for our Fine Feathered Friends!!
While doing this craft, you might want to ready one of the following books with your child, depending on their age… Backyard Birdwatching for kids or Are you my mother? The Backyard Birdwatching book is fun because you can ready about the birds and how you can attract them to your back yard and your bird house. Are you my mother? is a great book about a young bird looking for his mother.
This craft is so much fun and you can enjoy it all spring and summer!
Supplies
- Wood, Paintable bird house- I found mine at the dollar store!! But craft stores like Michaels or AC Moore carry them too!
- Washable Paint

Steps
- Get creative-Paint the birdhouse however you like!

Oh what a cute bird house! If you would like to make some birds, I just posted pics of some chick puppets that my daughter and I made – they’re great for Easter too!
