Bird Nest Craft

We have been learning a bit about birds lately, we’ve looked at lifecycles, native birds, made bird feeders.

Today we made nests.

 

I gave the girls a paper bowl each and put out some scraps of crape paper streamers, fake feathers, pipe cleaners, cellophane, and curling ribbon.

The girls enjoyed gluing the bits into the bowl to make a good nest.

When Evie was finished she wanted to make a bird to go in the nest too. We cut a circle and she added some wings and googly eyes and a beak cut from a patty-pan.

Georgia wanted to make a bat instead of a bird though… I’m not sure why. She seems fascinated with bats at the moment.
