Invitation
To kick this off, wonder together how the birds around your home are doing. What do they need and want? Once you are ready to help them, take out an orange and ask, “What is this?” Kids may, naturally answer, “an orange.” But you can say, Nope. Today, it’s a bird feeder! Should we find out how...and your off to the races.
Note: The construction of this particular feeder can be a bit challenging because it requires some precision and hand-eye coordination. Talk about what is satisfying and what is challenging as you work your way through the design process. Once the feeder is up, enjoy observing both the feeder and the creatures who flock to it hour to hour and day to day.
