Birds can be found almost anywhere in the world. There are large birds, small birds, brown birds, colorful birds, and even birds that can’t fly! We will be exploring the different features of birds and what makes a bird, a bird.
NOTE: Some of the activity links go straight to a pin on Pinterest instead of a blog page. Read the description of the pin for the activity instructions. If you are new here, make sure to check out the Themed Curriculum page for more details about how to use this curriculum. Looking for a different theme? Check out all of our themes here.
As we go through this week’s activities together make sure to use #KL4Lbird and @kidslearningforlife to share the activities you do! Don’t forget to follow me on Facebook or Instagram to see me doing the activities with my own kids!
