Creating Bird Feeders with Mother Goose Time

Mother Goose Time always comes with fun activities, but a few always stand out as the girls' favorite. This month's was this Make and Play Bird Feeder. After learning about birds all month long, the girls were eager to feed the birds on their own.

This Make and Play was super simple, yet perfect for little hands!

Pipe Cleaner, ribbons and instructions were included. We strung Cheerios on our Pipe Cleaner and of course ate some as well. Bella was very independent on this project and strung all of her Cheerios by herself! I helped Trinity, but she worked very hard on trying to get the Cheerios on by herself too.

Our finished products were pretty picture perfect! The girls were excited to go hang them on our tree outside!

They fit perfectly in our tree and the girls loved going outside and hanging them.

Once they were hung we watched from our front window. The girls have been watching it every day and love that they created the bird feeders themselves. They get so excited to check on them!

A Peek Inside Homeschooling This Week

April's Mother Goose Time box featured everything about Birds & Eggs. After a week of "work-ation" we got to come home and double up on some MGT activities! That is the main thing I love about Mother Goose Time, your schedule and set up is completely up to you. While they set up everything you could possibly need for a daily routine, sometimes life happens and you do less activities or may want to do even more!

The girls were happy to get home and get back to a normal routine. They missed all of our crafts, reading and activities.

One thing the girls enjoyed was this Eagle Eye project. While Bella is 3 and Trinity is 1, they were both able to play this game in their own way.

Bella loved finding the items and matching them with her cards. She recognized the number on the card, and found that same number in each item.

Trinity enjoyed looking at each item and having me name off what they are.

After learning about Eagle eyes and how great they can see, the girls created binoculars. Trinity even loved coloring the cups!

Bella loved peeking through her binoculars. But, we needed something to find!

After our binoculars, we decided to create on of our other day's bird beaks and "bird watch" each other.

Bella loved her beak and learning all about birds. While each day seems like only fun, there are so many new things we are learning with each new activity. Bella really enjoyed learning about bird beaks this week and how they don't have teeth. She loved that fact!

Homeschooling This Week is for the Birds

 

This week we started our new Mother Goose Time box which is always super exciting! This month's theme is Birds & Eggs. This is a monthly homeschooling curriculum kit that comes with 20 days worth of lesson plans, activities, supplies and SO MUCH MORE! Did I forget to mention it is SUPER affordable which makes it just that more amazing?

Since Trinity (my 17 month old) has now started homeschooling with Bella (my 3 year old) we have had to find creative ways to entertain both of them at the same time. This week proved to be pretty easy! With the new topic the kids were excited to see all the new items!

 

First, we opened our monthly Puzzle and new Manipulatives. These update each month and are always the girls go-to items! Bella worked on the puzzle while Trinity filled an empty water bottle with the new link manipulatives while I prepped all of our new supplies for the month.

Bella has dramatically improved on her puzzle solving skills. I love to see her accomplish a new puzzle each month! The puzzle goes directly with the Monthly Book included in your kit, so we decided to read our new book when we were ready!

This month's book is simple, bright and super interactive! The kids loved it!

After the book was read (twice of course) we started on our first project: building a nest! This was super fun because Bella learned how Bird's collect their items and build their nests out of a variety of materials.

Bella cut up small pieces of paper, added shredded paper and created her own perfect nest. Trinity enjoyed ripping up her own paper and transferring it around the room :)

After our nests were built, we scavenged for all of our bird stuffed animals. We created bird families and had them sit with their eggs. These little acts, even though they seem like all fun, taught Bella so much new information about birds like how they lay eggs, how they nest, and so much more!
This is going to be a fun month! I can't wait to share it with you!
