July 19, 2014 Dilara's bird made out of pipe cleaners. I was very impressed that she created this. It started when she was twisting 3 pipe cleaners together. I noticed that she had accidentally made a three strand braid and I told her I would show her how to make a three strand braid "on purpose" and she wanted me to use the same colors she had. I got her started and she started braiding on her own and when she got near the bottom, she said it looked like a bird's foot. I unbraided the top of the strand a little ways and bent it in half and said, "Now it looks like TWO bird feet." I wonder if you can make a whole bird out of pipe cleaners, and this is what she did. Notice how she twisted a 'tail" and at the head, there is a long beak and feathers on the top of the head, "Like a peacock." She amazes me on a daily basis. She wanted me to put this both on her "Birds" page and her "Art" page----Lydia

Feb. 24, 2014 we had an exciting day. We pulled down some Virginia Creeper from the house and this nest was inside! Not sure what kind of bird made it. This was also the day we found our Wooly Bear Caterpillar and she also found an acorn that was sprouted.--Lydia
