Thanks so much for coming today everyone! We had a great turnout. I'm posting the activity here for those of you who were not able to make it. I had planned to do a bird themed playgroup last month since it was national bird month but we had to cancel for the snow.

Craft#1: Print this picture and color or decorate with feathers- http://www.animal-coloring-pages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/bird-coloring-pages.gif
Craft #2: Pinecone bird feeder- http://crafts.kaboose.com/pine-cone-bird-feeder.html
If you can't find any pinecones you could string up a bagel or a piece of toast and I bet that would work just fine.
Fun bird themed snack ideas:

Unfortunately I didn't make these little nest in time for playgroup but it sounds cute and healthy. We had chickadees (which are on sale at Target right now for about a buck).
See you in a couple of weeks!

Thanks for doing this. We loved it!
This was SO fun and creative! Thanks for organizing it - and what a great idea to post the links. I want to make those cute fruity-wheat nests. They sound yummy and a great way to celebrate spring! You do an awesome job, Mandy.
