Here at Gardening With Children, we care deeply about our environment as well as our wildlife, and during the winter months I have had such fun with my own children watching the birds in our garden.
The children’s sheer delight as the drama of the bird world unfolds… The blue tits and great tits swapping and changing on the nut feeders, the blackbirds exploring the ground, the cautious wren hopping amongst the flower pots and the swooping in of the starlings – a boisterous mob of tear aways coming in and causing chaos… and that’s all in a few minutes!
Birds need our help more than ever at this time of year and we have also been feeding the birds at school. This provides a fantastic learning experience for the children, and handy feeders such as the Discovery Seed Feeder and the Window Bird Feeder can be placed where the children can see so much of the action from inside the classroom.
We also love the Handing Bird Table and the Ground Bird Table. Both are priced at just £13.95 and are made from FSC wood. Bird tables are important in any garden. They reduce the risk of hygiene problems, can be easily cleaned and they keep pets out of reach. They are also perfect for gardens where space is limited.
The full range of wildlife products, from for Hedgehog Food to Peanut Cakes and beautiful Birch Nesting Boxes, are all available at www.recycleworks.co.uk.
Great idea there. i think a lot more kids should get involved with wildlife. Mainly kids that live in cities like London and don’t get to see wildlife.
