Many of our art projects revolve around nature’s free materials and diverse subject matter. Nature is such a great jumping off point for creating. There are so many areas to use for inspiration and learning!

One of those areas I love is BIRDS.

All things birds. Feathers, Nests, Eggs. So many things to use as inspiration in art.

We have done our fair share of bird themed art over the years so I compiled a list of projects we have done and a few favorites by some of my virtual friends. Try some of these out for a spring bird unit or throughout the year as the seasons change.
