Go Bird Watching

Bird watching is a fun activity you can do together. Best of all it’s FREE to do. You can go anywhere and find birds together. Head to a park, state forest, wildlife area, or your own backyard.

To attract birds to your backyard, consider making a natural bird feeder. You can hang it so you can view birds from a window without disturbing the animals.

The 19th annual Great Backyard Bird Count is a fun family activity we love to participate in. It can be done anywhere. This year it will be held Friday, February 12, through Monday, February 15, 2016. Get additional bird watching resources that we have used in years past.

monopoly

Play a game of Monopoly

A Day in History: February 6th, 1935, Monopoly goes on sale for the first time. Can you believe this popular board game has been around since the 1930’s?

Make tonight a family game night with Monopoly or other board game. You can create homemade pizza or other family favorite for dinner. Just think of the fun the kids will have as they tell Mom and Dad “Go Directly to Jail. If you pass Go, do not collect $200. ”

cherries

Cook something with cherries

Presidents’ Day is February 15th. Before we celebrate that day, let’s pay tribute to George Washington cutting down the cherry tree by creating a dish with cherries. This tale is just folklore, but any excuse to bake with cherries is a welcome one in our house.

You can try one of these recipes:

  • Cherry Chocolate Larabars
  • Granny’s Granola Bars 
  • Honey Sweetened Cherry Pie from Eating Well
  • Cherry Pistachio Chocolate Bark from Health
  • Chery Almond Farro Salad from Eating Well
  • Dill Chicken Salad (substituting dried cherries for dried cranberries)
