Birdcage Doll Play
Birdcage Doll Play
I was so excited when I found this old birdcage at the thrift store this past weekend (and yes, we got more building cloths too). I cleaned it up and put it in the large bay window in our kitchen. I even put a plant bulb in a jar inside of it with hopes of a beautiful flower growing inside the birdcage soon. However, it didnt take long for my children to discover that the birdcage would also make a wonderful cage, house, and play space, for their little people.
So now Im sharing my birdcage, but I cant blame them, it does look like a fun place to play!

Bird Play
Bird Play
In the winter we really appreciate birds. For the most part animal life outside is sparse. We may see tracks but dont get to see much other than that. We appreciate the birds that brave the cold and long winter to stay here. We enjoy filling up the bird feeder and watching them gather and eat, and it feels good to help another living thing in this small way.
Bird seed is a fun sensory experience weve put in the sensory tub (which is usually sand or water for winter play).
Most of the same objects and utensils work just as well with the bird seed as they do the water or sand. The funnel, of course, is always a favorite.
And there is bird play at the play stand too. We have quite a few of the Audubon Birds. My daughters enjoy listening to their bird calls when squeezed and theyve helped us learn many of the calls we hear outside. In addition to the birds, the play stand has white fabric, a round basket (as a nest) wooden eggs, a few tree branch blocks and pinecones and acorns for "food."
