Feed+the+Critters

Last week we read the story "The After Christmas Tree". In this book, the children took their Christmas tree and decorated it with goodies for the critters to eat throughout the winter. After reading the story, several of us wanted to do the same thing for the critters in our neighbourhood. So, we brought in popcorn, cranberries, raisins, apples and dryer lint. Then, we spent Tuesday morning creating strings of popcorn and berries, egg carton baskets of No Nut Butter and seeds for the critters to eat and balls of dryer lint wrapped in yarn for the birds to line their nests with.

On Wednesday right after recess, we bundled up and took all our critter treats out to our playground where we hung them on trees and bushes. We had enough goodies left over that we can replenish the goodies throughout the winter, keeping our critters warm and full!

We worked very hard and had so much fun doing this special activity. Take a look at our pictures to see how everything turned out!
