For our Friday Feature the Kiddos decided that they wanted to read this beautiful picture book by Brian Wildsmith. I just LOVE the colors and pictures in this book. The kiddos really liked seeing the different types of birds. AND since it was Bb week and we've already been talking alot about birds this was a great book pick.
The only problem was the project. After snack the other day we threw the leftovers of our popcorn out for the birds and they gobbled it up! So we decided to string popcorn for the birds to eat. We tried using our big fat plastic blue needles and the popcorn just broke because the needles were too fat. Then I tried using pipe cleaners and the kids still had trouble. So we decided to let the kids try real needles. With the first itty bitty finger prick, they gave up. So, Granny and Mommy ended up making the popcorn strings for the birds while the kiddos ate the rest of the popcorn. The kiddos STILL loved hanging the popcorn string on the tree and have been watching all day to see if the birds were eating it. I think this project is best for older kids!

Even though you ended up doing the project, it still sounded like everyone had fun.
That is a great project to along with that book, thanks for sharing.
The most important part is having fun together! I'm sure that they did:0)
Looks like a fun book. I guess the kids could predtend to be birds and eat the popcorn! Popcorn strings have always been a chalenge for me as well.
