Eagle in the Sky- Active kids who have a bit of trouble sitting still will love this interactive bald eagle book that encourages them to move around while listening to the story. They'll love flapping their wings like they're flying, gobbling down a tasty fish dinner, sitting on eggs, and more as they learn about bald eagles through guided pretend play.

Schleich Eagle Toy- After reading about all the eagles, your kids will love to have an eagle toy to hold for themselves. This hard plastic one is great for messy play and sensory bins since it washes off so easily. My kids have their eyes on an eagle balance toy too.
