November’s Little Seedlings workshop is all about bird feeders, winter birds and how we can encourage them into our gardens. Children will discover how birds survive in winter, which foods give them the most energy, and why some foods should be avoided. They’ll also explore different types of bird feeders and learn simple ways to make gardens more bird-friendly in winter. The workshop includes an interactive sorting game where children decide which foods are safe for birds, as well as a hands-on activity to make their very own fat ball bird feeder.

This workshop will cover:

• Winter birds
• Winter survival
• What do birds eat?
• Foods to avoid
• Bird feeders  How to encourage winter birds into your garden
• Workshop activity – make a fat ball feeder
