| What are I.D.Bird Cards? I.D.Bird Cards are educational tools designed to encourage and support the development of bird identification skills and the appreciation of wild birds. These are learning tools for children. The design of the cards is based upon three part nomenclature materials used in Montessori classrooms. The cards allow for the image of the bird to be connected with the species name of the bird through a variety of learning games and opportunities. The Cover-up Sleeve can easily be used to hide the name of the bird while the bird’s image is being viewed. Through a variety of games, parents (or other educators) can help their children learn to identify birds. Why do children and parents love I.D. Bird Cards? We have found that if children learn to identify birds before going into the field, they enjoy birding, wildlife watching, hiking and just being outdoors more. We have also been astounded by how quickly children can learn and how much they enjoy learning with I.D.Bird Cards. If your children do not yet enjoy birding, please consider getting a deck of I.D.Bird Cards. Children will enjoy viewing the cards, playing with the cards, and learning to identify birds. Children will be excited to find the birds they know in the field. Some children even enjoy collecting these cards. To learn more, read our overview and check out our Learning Toolkit. |
"When asked whey their kids resist going outside, parents point to
diminishing access to natural areas, competition with electronic
entertainment, longer school hours, increase homework, and other
time pressures. ....
... we need a "Leave No Child Inside" campaign to reconnect kids with
the restorative, challenging, primal qualities of nature."
--- From Richard Louv, the author of "Last Child in the Woods:
Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder" from an article in
the July/August Issues of Sierra Magazine.
