Spring Science Activities

Bird Feeder
This Christmas, my husband picked up a plain wooden bird feeder from Michaels that Lena and I painted together and then we put it aside...until Spring.  I set it on the counter last night to peek her interest when she came down for breakfast this morning...voila!  We chatted about it through our morning routine as we waited for the temperature to climb from low 40's into the 50's then we went out on the deck, wild bird seed in hand, to fill the bird feeder and hang it up.  On the bag, it listed the types of birds the seed would attract, so I read the list to Lena and I have plans to print off picture cards and laminate them so Lena can identify the birds we see at the feeder.

Serious Painting

We loved working together...Thanks Daddy!
All Finished...and Showing it Off!


Exploring what this bird seed is all about
Pouring it in all by herself!
Very happy & proud of the finished product...now let's see some birdies!




 Indoor Grass Farm

Luckily, we just reseeded our yard this weekend.  So, I reserved a small cup of seed for myself and one for my friend who found this activity. (Thanks, Shelly!)  So, I have all of the materials on the ready, we'll be trying this sometime in the next week or so...I'll be sure to post a timeline of pictures to show how it works out!

Step One:  Playing with the drainage stones

Step Two/Three:  Spreading the topsoil & seed

Step four:  Water!
