School Journal - Bunnies and Birds


Betty loved our spring themes of bunnies and birds! We read books on both topics including:

 Peter Rabbit: The Tale of Peter Rabbit Board Book     BabyBirdBook

I used some Easter theme printables and activities from Prekinders and the Birds Preschool Pack from Homeschool Creations for our 2 weeks of Bunnies and Birds.

This is a fun thing from Prekinders. It's like a Find-It! Game but you put rice and little items inside a clear plastic carrot. Betty had a blast finding all her letters in the carrots. Other bunny things we did were hopping like a bunny and other animals, bunny counting using a picture of a garden with a bunny and then using playdough carrots that the bunny gobbled up and a bunny craft.


I couldn't think of a bunny theme sensory bin, but we did do a bird bin. I used bird seed and had a couple of fake birds that I found at the dollar store and some plastic eggs. Betty wasn't the only one who got interested in that.

But we had to take it outside for him! :)




She also painted a little birdhouse I picked up at Hobby Lobby. We did a lot of games with plastic eggs and we made a playdough nest for counting our jelly bean eggs. She really likes birds and can name some of the more common ones around our house. But she's really hoping to see a Great-Horned Owl.
