Bird Watching Basket

Another fun new addition to our family room is 

our new Bird Watching Basket. 

I was inspired by Mariah Bruehl's Playful Learning Spaces e-class. 

We have a beautiful dogwood tree right outside our family room window

and we have several bird feeders hanging in it. 

It is a very popular hang out in our backyard for our feathered friends. 

I set up the basket with several bird guides,

a bird whistle, some nice binoculars,

and our "Birdsong Identiflyer" machine (that plays birdsongs).

I think I'll get some colored pencils and a sketchbook to add to the basket

so the girls can sketch birds as they observe them.

Time to make some more homemade birdseed cakes!

Fondly,
