Bird Egg Hunt

On Saturday our boys attended the preschool Tales and Trails Egg Hunt at the Seward Park Audubon.  It was a fabulous way to use something exciting for children-an egg hunt-and provide a lesson in how different birds make different nests and even lay different colored eggs.  There were stories, songs, bird calls, and opportunities to touch real nests that all led up to an activity of painting bird houses and then searching for specific eggs.  Each child was supposed to gather 6 eggs...all different colors and marked to represent true eggs even though they were plastic.  The kids had a grand time and the bird houses remind the boys of a wonderful event.  Thank you amazing Teacher Naturalists!
