Birds Seed Poetry
- Bird Seed
- Construction Paper
- Glue w/ Brush
- Bird Template
- Scissors
- Choose a birdseed
that is small to make
it easier to adhere to
the glue. - Write a poem about
birds. (Or print the
one we used)
- What kinds of birds are native to your
area? - What kinds of seeds are in the birdseed
mixture? - How can we help support birds through
the winter months?
| Step 2 Use an old paint brush to cover the bird with glue. We put on a thick layer of Elmers Washable School Glue. |
| Step 3 Dip your bird into the bird seed, and press lightly to get the seeds to stick. |
| We used a bird template that we printed online for free. Here is the link. |
| Finish Up! Glue your birdie to the top of your black construction paper. Cut some brown paper and your paste your poem at the bottom. |
