Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf

We read Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf by Lois Ehlert.  I love to share this book with my kids each fall.  In it, it discusses putting out treats for birds when the snow comes.  I used this page of the book as an intro into our special activity for today, making bird feeders!  We used bagels, peanut butter, and bird seed.  One of my little Owlets enjoyed eating the bird seed, an activity that I did not encourage!  Once they were put together we tied a piece of string through them and hung them on a tree!  We noticed a little later that only the flys seem to enjoy the treats, so we moved them to a tree with thicker branches, so hopefully now the birds and squirrels will feast on them!
