- Story and Bird search
- We read Ruby’s Birds by Mya Thompson
- Then we went on a walk/hike to listen and watch for birds.
- I wish I would have made them keep track of how many birds we saw and how many we heard. That would have been good tally practice!
- Feather Counting
- With laminated birds, have your preschooler tell you the number that is on it and add that many feathers.
*(I can’t find the original of these, and can’t even remember if I made them or if I got them from someone else!)
- Book and Rhyming
- We read Wings by Cheryl B. Klein, it is a book written only with words that rhyme with “wings”
- Get someletters out and practice sounding out and rhyming “-ings” words.
- Playdoh egg counting
- Use this bird’s nest playdoh mat
- Make playdoh “eggs” (roll playdoh in a ball)
- Write or put a number in the square on the bottom right of the mat (printed from above), and have your preschooler count out that many eggs to put in the nest.
