This is my first post on Restoring Wonder...I'll actually be hosting RW next Friday.And hopefully there will be a RW post every Friday!! Until then check out this post and Ann's posts at Listening and A Child's Geoegraphy- Travel Blog for some wonderful inspiration.
I've mentioned previously that I love watching birds...one might say it is a passion of mine...and it is my experience that if you are passionate about something your interest in it is infectious, especially to those close to you. The girl chicks love birding, too (The Boy is not sold on it yet as there aren't enough LEGOS involved). It is a fun, rewarding and realtively inexpensive activity--all you need are a pair of binoculars, a bird guide, and birds! So, if you want to join us here are some links for birding information and some fun: ONLINE FIELD GUIDES: ENature BirdSource BIRD GAMES: bird jigsaw puzzle find the hidden bird by listening to its call BIRD COUNTS: Project Feeder Watch Great Backyard Bird Count LISTENING TO BIRDS: Bird Songs And, TIPS FOR BIRDING WITH CHILDREN Happy Birding and See you next Friday!
(And don't forget to leave a comment and a link to your own Restoring Wonder ideas--hopefully I'll have the button information for you soon!!)
Inspiring, Mother Hen! ~smile~
We made 4 birdhouses a few weeks ago.. but still need to mount them.... I am going to copy and paste your links here into the children's blog so they can check these links out at their leisure--so much fun, that they won't even know it is learning! ~smile~
Just the simple thoughts on life, children, books, nature, and God (to name a few) of an imperfect Christian momma as she ventures forth in search of the Sweet Life...
