The Design and planning

The design for the bird garden includes three totem poles and a birdbath. These structures will be decorated with birds, branches, leaves and blossoms made out of clay by the four years olds. The background between these ceramic features will be filled in with mosaic, by the artist.
The garden will also have some mosaic pavers set into the ground with footprints on them made by the three year olds. These pavers will provide a stimulus and suggested path for the children to make their way through the garden.

The hollow in the birdbath base could be used for social interaction, and will be a quiet cosy space for storytelling with little toy birds. Nests could be made using twigs and leaves.
