For this week’s Family Friday you will make a present for our two-legged friends: the birds! Just like Ursula in Ursula the Umbrella Cockatoo, the birds in your neighborhood need a place to live. Read our step-by-step guide on how to build your very own birdhouse out of everyday items.
What you need:
- A tissue box (or any small box/milk carton)
- Paint and paintbrush
- String/ribbon
- A pen
Step 1
Open your App, and go to Level 2 (Yellow). In the Alphabet Animals series, read the book Ursula the Umbrella Cockatoo.
Step 2
Using the pen, poke 2 holes in the top of the box. Paint your box with a base coat of white paint.
After it dries, decorate it anyway you would like.
Step 3
From inside the box, thread each end of the ribbon through the holes. Then tie the ribbon so that you will be able to hang it from a branch.
Step 4
Find a nice spot in your yard or a nearby tree to hang your birdhouse. Check on it every few days to see if there are any new occupants!
