Pick the Right Time Hummingbirds are most active in early morning and late afternoon. Choose a sunny, calm day so the little birds and little guests can enjoy without interruption.
Set Up Feeders Hang red-colored hummingbird feeders filled with homemade nectar (1 part sugar to 4 parts water). Place them near windows or shady spots for easy viewing.
Create a Viewing Zone Set up child-sized chairs, picnic blankets, or even tents for comfort. Add binoculars or toy scopes for extra fun!
Decorate with Nature Themes Use bird-themed banners, paper flowers, and bright colors to match the hummingbirds' world. Let kids help decorate!
Craft Time Plan a hummingbird-themed craft like coloring pages, paper bird puppets, or simple DIY feeders using recycled bottles.
Story or Learning Time Share fun facts about hummingbirds or read a short story. Use visuals or flashcards to keep it engaging.
Games and Activities Try a “Find the Feeder” scavenger hunt, hummingbird trivia, or a freeze tag game where kids flap like birds!
Take-Home Goodies Send kids home with a small hummingbird coloring book, stickers, or a mini binocular toy to keep the love going.
