Since I was finally feeling better, the kiddos and I had a Spring Day!
First we read books about Spring....one in particular that is my favorite....
We also read a book that I printed off and then we colored (you can print in color or black and white).
They have many other books and activities for kids...
Then we talked about Spring and what we have started to see outside.... bird nests, flowers, green grass, etc...
After we talked about Spring, we went outside and did some fun Spring activities.
We planted seeds in pots.....but the most fun was...........
DECORATING BIRDHOUSES!!!!!!!!!!
My son LOVES birds. He chases them in our yard and tries to catch them. You may remember the birdhouses I decorated. If not, you can check them out here. Anyways, when I decorated those birdhouses I knew that my son would LOVE it, so I saved some for him to decorate.
