American Robin Free Printables, Resources and Crafts

I rounded up some fun American Robin free printables, resources, and crafts to kick off a spring unit study.

American Robin Unit Study Ideas

We pulled out the chalk pastels today, used our Chalk Pastel reference tutorial book that we love, which by the way was created by a homeschool mom and Tiny decided to sketch and do a chalk pastel of the American Robin.

By the way, there is a guide for each season. I love this download because Tiny can read through it on his own.

The American Robin – First Sign of Spring

Like his mom, Tiny is not comfortable with art. However, with some coaxing to change the pace of our day, he pulled out the chalk pastels.

I have tried my best through the years to be sure each son views art as enrichment and pleasure. The emphasis has always been on the pleasure of art and not so much the product.

However, I think he did quite well with this American Robin. Of course, he had to sketch it first so it would be “perfect”.

I tried to talk him out of it and to use the pastels to free flow, but he really liked the way it came out and more importantly, we enjoyed a change in pace.

We read some online about American Robins and enjoyed listening to the sound of them too. We’ll be looking out to see one or two this year also.

I gathered up some free and fun resources to help round out a unit study or quick study.
