Last year when spring rolled around, I shared a free Bird Journal along with a Bird Identification page. Also, grab more information about birds on my page Hands-on Bird Unit Study and Lapbook.
Tiny had been coloring birds for a few years before I shared it last year.
Also, I wanted something that could be used both as a coloring journal AND to print a page over and over when we identified birds.
So this free printable bird journal includes the following pages.
- Colorful front page for your journal
- owl coloring page
- raptor or hawk coloring page
- cardinals coloring page
- heron coloring page
- emeral toucan coloring page
- spoonbill coloring page
- sulphur crested cockatoo coloring page
- cross bill coloring page
- bob white coloring page
- quetzal coloring page
- vulture coloring page
- song sparrow coloring page
- catbird coloring page and
- a beautiful Bird Identification Page which you can print over and over as your children discover new birds
So this year and as all kids do, he has grown up a bit more and wanted the Bird Identification page changed around to allow room for a larger sketch and less coloring.
Moreover, in the download I included a “field guide” page.
Just add the field page into a page protector and add to your notebook.
Using a 3 ring notebook worked best for us so could keep adding to it each year.
Additionally, if you want to delve into more spring learning look at the NaturExplorers.
However because I know you still may have younger sweeties and kids who probably like to color, I have added a few more bird coloring pages to the Bird Journal.
Free Bird Journal
I also updated the Bird Identification page to allow room for a larger sketch and to use for an older child.
We want to get in the habit of bird watching year around so I created this page so that the season could be easily marked when we’re bird watching.
