Felt/Magnet Board:
 No - we did not get to do our magnet board today as the kids were a little bit too excited to sit still for very long. BUT - we still intended to do one and made a beautiful one at that so... here it is! I had the hardest time finding WHERE I found this little rhyme, but I finally tracked it down to Notes From the Story Room.

Five Colorful Birds

The cardinal is a bird that is colored bright red,
He has a crest of feathers on his head.

A squawking jay's feathers are blue,
She calls out loudly to protect her babies so new.

A hummingbird has feathers that are green,
He moves his wings so fast they can hardly be seen.

The finch has feathers that are bright yellow,
Indeed he thinks he's a handsome fellow.

Bright orange are the feathers of the oriole,
She sings a song telling winter to go.

I found simple, free clip art pictures of the five birds and printed those out - glued them to thick poster paper - and attached our handy dandy magnet circles onto the backs and PRESTO! A magnet set!

Craft:


Today we made another paper bag puppet - this time we made an owl. This one is very simple - it's only 1 page and two very simple shapes to cut out. I originally found this craft linked to a Pintrest account, but going back today to hunt it down - I just can't find it! I did, however, manage to find to original
