Cloverbud Meeting "Wings Over Arkansas"
For our 4 H meeting tonight, one of the Cloverbuds did a talk on a project he is working on called "Wings Over Arkansas." With this program, you bird watch and record what kind of birds you see and when. When you record specific numbers of birds, you earn a certificate and a pin. Anyone of any age can participate, it is not just a 4 H program. You can find more information on the program here. It takes a lot of courage to talk in front of a group of people and even more so when you are only 6 years old! After he did his talk, we made a bird craft and a simple bird feeder by stringing Cheerios on a piece of yarn. It was a fun and productive meeting, although a bit chaotic which is to be expected when you are dealing with 15 children, ages infant to 10 years old.

Thank you for sharing. i've been wondering what to do for our Cloverbuds. My club is only in it's 2nd year and with only 4 current members and 2 prospective new members we are small and not a lot of parents, since my 3 are members. Thank you,
Sarah

For our club, we just try to introduce them to different things that they will be able to do in 4 H as they get older. A simple program, followed by something hands on and a snack. In the next couple months we plan on doing a meeting on Arkansas Wildlife, Container Gardening, and Entomology.
