If you are using the Burgess Bird Book for Children (Canada | USA) you might want some follow-up activities to help your kids “digest” all the information they are hearing. Try out the free North American birds notebooking pages from NotebookingPages.com. Each set contains images to colour in, plus several page templates that allow kids to record information about the birds’ appearance, habitat and range, diet, young, and more.

If you like them there is a complete set on sale through HomeSchool eStore. The e-text is in PDF format and contains 684 pages, covering 97 North American birds. Most, but not all, the birds in the Burgess Book can be found in the file. You can print with regular or primary lines, depending on your children’s needs. Download once and print as many copies as you need for your family.

Samples can be found here, but do download the free pages and try them out. Cost of the full package is under $10, and you can save almost 25% if you buy the combined package (includes the nature notebooking pages.)

For an idea of what your kids could do with these pages take a look at Becky’s blog entry, “Jenny Wren Arrives” (this is the first chapter of the book, and it introduces the house wren - Troglodytes aedon.)
