Your mission
-
Meet your visitor
Invent a bird and draw it. Is it big or tiny? Does it like quiet corners or lots of company?
What might your bird need after a long journey?
-
Draw a cosy home
Draw an imaginary nest. Add somewhere to rest and shelter from the weather. Choose one special detail just for your visitor.
A shady leaf? A soft corner? You decide.
-
Welcome them in
Show your drawing to a grown-up. Pretend your bird has just arrived and give it a tour of its new home.
What would you say to help someone new feel welcome?
One question to wonder about
What helps you feel welcome somewhere new?
A little tip for grown-ups
Ask your child to explain one choice in their drawing. Then wonder whether a different visitor might want something different. Keep it curious, with no perfect nest or right answer.
This is an imaginary drawing activity. If you spot real birds, watch from a safe distance and leave their nests undisturbed.
