Juliet Robertson said… - Hello Narelle
I thought I'd stop by and say hello as I do to all people outwith the USA. It's quite an interesting site - a little bit like a rabbit warren.
I run the Scotland group and the International Group. If you have a look on the Scotland site you will find Mandy Tulloch who runs "Mud Pie Adventures" which sounds quite similar to what you do.
Best wishes
Juliet

- Narelle, first get there intrest in what you are trying to do..I always draw a simple pattern and ask them to paint there favorite bird (Bluebirds are simple) ask them to make the sound of an owl,hawk,chickadee etc. take a bird walk pond, lake trail etc ask them to find ducks, geese etc. I find that kids this age are really willing to get involved and learn, as long as you keep the attention span going..I'm not sure what holiday you mean..Morning is the best time to find birds forging for food..take binos as they will want to see what they are looking for and it makes for a better viewing of the subject..
1 painting
2 bird walk
3 Bird calls
4 stop,look and listen
5 ponds, lakes, and trails
6 a bird feeder..is a great place to view birds..they have to be quite,and thats the hard part foe the little guys!!
Hope this helps..all the best and good luck..
