Optional
Buggy and Buddy - simple, at home activities and experiments, divided by category.
Going Wild! - Great book resource, there's a lot for older kids in this book, but it's also a great introductory field guide for some local plants that could be found during a forest walk, complete with colour photos! Some of the activity ideas are great for younger kids, but not independently.

Now you try!

irds in the backyard:
Watch these videos, showing many of the birds we see in lower Vancouver Island. The Vancouver video also shows some exotic birds from other parts of the world.
Also, there is this site Backyard Birds to explore - however, it's more centred around Southern Washington.
After watching the videos, go out to the yard. See how many different kinds of birds you can see. How many can you name? Draw pictures of some of the birds, and describe them. Here is a framework to help you.
