Teaching about nature for Green Thursday

For today, a page from an uncompleted project. Its fun to play with pictures and I had started creating a counting book for my grandchildren also to be used as a guide to help them id the familiar birds often seen. doubleclick on the tree to count and id the birds. Ducks in tree? yes, Wood Ducks nest in trees.(one Osprey, two White-breasted Nuthatches, three purple Finch , four Wood Ducks, six Northern Cardinals , five great blue heron, seven Evening Grosbeaks, eight Blue Jays, as I had said incompleteAnother way of introducing children to nature was a set of ABC flashcards I made for them.
There are many ways we can teach children about nature. enjoy the teaching and the appreciation that results. Happy Green Thursday.

Oh Ann...what a WONDERFUL idea. It helps them to gain basic skills and you can share your love of nature too. I wish I had some grandchildren, but now I know what I am going to make. This is great. --Michelle--
