Birds- The month of November brings "birds" into my Kindergarten classroom. On November 1st, I take this bird out of my overstuffed classroom storage and put him on display... (I can not even recall where I found him, but it is a good prop for a kindergarten classroom, yeah?)
The children learn about this type of bird... that the young ones are called poult, that they can change colors when they are agitated or mad, that they roost, and one smart aleck 5 year old said, they can also be roast.... :), etc.
Then the children make their own rendition of the bird....
One parent made these "bird" cookies for the students....
But one of my favorite birds is this - one that can take me places. :)

I did not know what the young baby turkeys were called. The cookies are nice but I agree with you. The best bird is that last one. ;)

Love all your photos! Cute looking cookies. I don't like turkeys too much, they scare me. The last bird is also my favorite. Not only does it takes me places but it pays the bills, since one of those birds is my husband’s office.
