Bird watching

My kids aren't very intrigued when bird watching out in the wide open because they can't see them. But I found the greatest little site....Thanks to www.cookingwithmykid.com they had a great urban/rainy day solution. Using toilet paper/paper towel tubes. We made binoculars and wrapped them in construction paper then decorated them with stickers. My daughter tied ribbon around them knotted around a hole punch and secured with a rubber band. To keep the tubes together I placed a bobby pin in the center of the two tubes. On the above link she made some great bird printouts to stick throughout your house with a bird guide. Take them on an adventure they won't forget.
