A Sunny Saturday for the Birds!

On Saturday, the Artsy Kids made beautiful bird feeders from Sunflower heads. These will be hung from trees or patios and give children a way of helping, and watching, the birds. Here is one little Artsy Kid who has been growing up before our eyes. She is showing one of the sunflower creations and on her napkin is a toad cookie treat!



Andrea, who created this project for the Artsy Kids loves nature and the creatures that live in our surroundings.  Many years ago she conceived of a story of a hungry little chickadee searching for seeds; asking the animals in the woods if they have seeds to share.

This spring, her concept became a reality. You can see her beautiful artwork and story at Toad House when you visit.
