Winter Birding 

​Winter Birding transforms your Nature Museum into a cozy, feathered world of discovery. Children can explore nests, feathers, binoculars, and birdhouses, while bird feeders outside invite real-time observation. Indoors, a life-sized nest made from recycled materials and a large box offers rich dramatic play. Sensory bins with birdseed, sorting activities, matching games, and observation sheets encourage hands-on learning and documentation. Add a bird count on the playground and a nature-inspired weaving project to build “trees where birds live,” and you’ve got a theme that’s full of wonder, movement, and meaningful connection to the natural world.

​This isn’t just play ... it’s also a powerful way to teach children about protecting birds, their habitats, and how our everyday actions can help support local wildlife. From caring for feeders to learning about migration and safe nesting spaces, Winter Birding nurtures empathy and stewardship, one feathered friend at a time.
