1. playdough letters
2. letter matching with Up Words tiles
3. letter creation/body decorating with stick-shaped foam
4. spoon people with pipecleaner hair & limbs and felt clothes
5. alphabet pancakes
6. bird cakes and orange-rind bird feeders
the recipe for the BIRD CAKES is as follows:
1.5 cups bird seed
2 Tbsp flour
4 Tbsp water
grease cookie cutters. place foil on cookie sheet. place cookie cutter on cookie sheet and fill with bird seed mixture - compact into mold. using a straw, make a hole for a hanger. gently remove the cookie cutter. bake at 170` for 1 hour. at about 45 minutes, flip the bird cakes. remove from oven and let cool before attaching hanger.
(we used yarn for the hanger, and that's a FROG bird cake...in case you were wondering.)
i hope you're enjoying the winter weather and can do some of these fun, winter-appropriate kid crafts/activities, too. we're going to be gifting our bird cakes to our garden-loving and bird-friendly neighbors! how fun would it be to have heart-shaped bird cake gifts to hand out on valentine's day?!
