Birds

Continuing our experiences learning about creation, the children had opportunities to learn about birds.  The Bunnies had a great time painting with feathers.  They dipped their feathers in watercolor and painted with them on white paper for very wispy looking art.

We put large photos of birds at the easel with white paper and markers for the children to attempt to draw birds.  At this age, children's art is sometimes hard to identify, in the eyes of adults.  That's OK.  The purpose is to give the children some inspiration and some tools (markers, paper) and see what happens.
The Bunnies learned the story Owl Babies and got to play with props for the story.  We read a book called Feathers for Lunch which is about a cat trying to catch birds, but all he gets is feathers.  We discussed how some birds in the story had an advantage because they had three ways to move - walk, swim (paddle), and fly.  The cat only had two ways to move - walk and climb.  Simple discussions really get the kids to think about attributes.
