Birds

It is easy to understand why children may be interested in birds, especially those they observe within their local neighbourhood. Early childhood educators can use their interest to promote creativity and inquiry.

Birds are animals that have captivating colours and textures, enchanting sounds, and the ability to fly in the sky above the world!

Some birds feature prominently in children's songs and stories, like ducks and chickens.

Birds also make great pets which children may have at home or at their childcare centre.

The Interest Forest

The Interest Forest was created by a small team of Australian early childhood teachers. We believe in less paperwork and more play.

We have collected hundreds of children's interests, linked to the EYLF, to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of your program. We hope you enjoy exploring our Forest of interest topics.

Acknowledgement

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and thank them for caring for our land, coastlines and waterways.

We pay our respect to their Elders past and present with extended respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
