Create this adorable Blue Bird Paper Plate Craft with the kids! This easy to follow photo tutorial will show you how to make this cute bird craft.
The spring season is here! We have already been taking advantage of the spring months by spending plenty of time outdoors!
We have also started a new hobby this spring, right in our very own backyard — bird watching!
Learn how to make a Pine Cone Bird Feeder, too! Or, save your empty toilet paper rolls and create a Toilet Paper Roll Bird Feeder.
We have a pretty great set up right now for our birds and forest friends to visit.
We currently have our bird feeder, bird bath, and plenty of bird seed out for the birds. Every day, my husband and I watch the variety of birds that visit.
We see cardinals, blue jays, woodpeckers, doves, brown thrashers, titmice, black birds, and other types of birds that we are still trying to identify!
If you are interested in learning more about birds, I recommend setting up a safe space in your yard for backyard birds to visit!
We do see other critters like squirrels, rabbits, salamanders, butterflies, dragonflies, and more! (Yes, we did see a non-venomous snake this week!)
To celebrate our new hobby, I wanted to share this Blue Bird craft with you to make with your own kids.
