Fuzzy Little Birds

We are talking a lot about Spring and focusing on birds yet. My little one has also been interested in the basket of wool and yarn that we have sitting out and how it all comes together lately. Today we read the books Knitty Kitty and Woolbur for inspiration and help to understand how wool becomes yarn through illustrations. Then we took some of the wool we had in the basket and felted it into egg shapes. This was so fun to play in the warm soapy water. After they dried just a bit, my daughter decided we needed to wrap them in some "funky' yarn that looked like feathers. She added paper beaks and eyes and the little fuzzy birds are resting with the one that didn't hatch yet. Tomorrow we will work on a nest!
