This week we’ll do a little birdwatching! Let’s make some binoculars!
You need:
2 toilet paper tubes
Tape
Markers
Stickers or other embellishments (if desired)
Hole punch
Yarn
1) Tape two tubes together.
2) Decorate with markers and/or other embellishments.
3) Punch a hole in each side. Tie a piece of yarn through each hole to make a neck strap. Take a nature walk and look for birds!
A field guide is great to have when you’re out exploring. Our favorite books are the
Take Along Guides
from NorthWord Publishing. They are perfect for beginning birdwatchers (and nature explorers)! They even include several pages in the back for notes and sketches. I noticed several are currently part of Amazon’s
4 for 3 promotion (where you buy 3 and get a 4th one for free)!
I LOVE this! I just made these with my two boys, ages 4 and 2. We had the greatest time decorating it and looking through them. Too bad its a rainy day and we haven’t been able to take them outside for bird watching yet. Thanks for the great ideas Stacie.
Glad they loved it! Hopefully you’ll have a nice bright sunny day soon!
