Can't visit us this spring?

If you're unable to travel this year to see us, there's plenty of fun still to be had in your local area or at home. From making binoculars to bird feeders, you'll find a whole range of ideas below...

Nature craft activities for kids

Blackbird, North Yorkshire Moors

How to make cardboard binoculars 

Make these ‘binoculars’ to help spot birds from your window, garden or while out on a walk. They're easy to create and will help little ones to pick out and enjoy the birds around them.

How to make a nest materials box 

Families can help birds make their nests by collecting materials they like to use. You can put these in a box, place it outside and watch birds take items to add to their homes.

How to make bird feeders 

Make these simple feeders to attract hungry birds for breakfast, lunch and tea, using an apple or kebab sticks. If you can, hang them within sight of a window so that kids can watch birds visiting their home-made creations.
