Bird Wheel Activity Kit

Did you know Hummingbirds weigh less than a penny? Did you know a Bald Eagle can kill a young deer and fly away with it? Those two divergent facts summarize why the study of birds is so fascinating. With our Bird Wheel Activity Kit participants get to create their own Bird Wheel! Simply cut out, glue on and label the 12 beautiful birds that we have included on each full color card. The kids will be excited to identify birds using the bird wheels that they made themselves!

Ages 5 and up.

Unit Goals and Concepts:

• Discover the wide variety of birds - they come in all shapes, sizes and colors!
• Compare and contrast the features of birds that are common to all birds with those that are unique to some.
• Increase awareness of bird habitats and the 'songs' they 'sing.'
• Play games and participate in activities using the bird wheel that will develop memory and reinforce learning.
