Insert each crayon rubbing into a plastic bag. Zip the bags closed. Punch holes into the ends of the bags with the paper punch. Place the bags on top of each other and thread yarn through the holes to make a book. "Read" the book often and talk about your walk.

Treats Birds Like to Eat

Cut a shape out of the bread with the cookie cutter. Using the knife tip, poke a hole for the yarn near the top of the shape. Spread peanut butter on the shaped bread. Press birdseed into the peanut butter. Thread the yarn through the hole in the bread. Tie the yarn ends together to make a hanger.

Hang the bread outside on a tree limb or fence post. Watch the birds devour their treat.

Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar were recently named Parents of the Year by a non-profit organization. Do you think they deserve this title?

No! It's hard enough to be parents to one child, much less 18.
