I created this activity for my kids last year and they absolutely loved it. Since it is Spring, I figured I would bring it back! It is a super simple set up and really inexpensive. I bought everything, including the birds at the dollar store, made my own play dough, and had my kids collect sticks. I like to add this bird book while we play so they can learn at the same time.
