Bird Brainiacs: Activity Journal and Log Book for Young Birders

Bird Brainiacs is an interactive high-engagement journal for kids 8 - 13 who love birds--one that puts discovery in their hands! Throughout the pages, kids are encouraged to write, draw, and give their opinions about anything and everything related to birds through fun (and sometimes even silly) ways. Here are some of the things you'll come across in Bird Brainiacs

Quizzes
Mad-Lib style fill-ins
Personality questionnaires
Game ideas
Would you rather? scenarios
Citizen science challenges
Nature challenges
Nature truth or dare
...and of course--bird facts and space to log their bird sightings

Bird Brainiacs combines the popularity of diaries and journals along with the important subject matter of getting kids outside and learning about birds. Kids will learn things about themselves that they never knew, and it will be documented so they can look back on it for years to come. In addition, they will learn interesting facts and tidbits about the great outdoors.
