For this week's Family Friday you will make a present for our two-legged friends: the birds! Just like Ursula in Ursula the Umbrella Cockatoo, the birds in your neighborhood need a place to live. Read our step-by-step guide on how to build your own birdhouse out of everyday items.

• A tissue box (or any small box/milk carton)
• Paint and paintbrush
• String/ribbon
• A pen

Click to read Ursula the Umbrella Cockatoo. Read the book with your child. Be sure to touch the illustrations to watch them come live! You can also find this book by opening your Footsteps2Brilliance App and going to Level 2 (Yellow). In the Alphabet Animals series, you'll find the book Ursula the Umbrella Cockatoo.

Using the pen, poke 2 holes in the top of the box. Paint your box with a base coat of white paint.

After it dries, decorate it anyway you would like.
