Birdie in a Nest

My toddler's class did this today. They loved it and it was a craft they could do. They were so proud of their creations when they were done.





I cut out a bird and a nest. They glued that on to construction paper and they decorated with tissue paper, feathers and eyes.


They are beautiful!!!!

I love that some of the nests have feathers on them and the upside-down eyeballs are too cute!

Thank you very much for publishing this craft. Today early in the morning our little daughter (22 mo) and I were listening to the birds singing outside and discussing where they live. And when I saw the craft in your blog I understood that it is right for us! And we made the bird! Without the feathers but with parts of the cones and some other natural materials for the nest.

By the way, would Cheyanne like to take part in the Contest devoted to Hummingbirds we have announced in our blog? There will be three main prizes and some little prizes for all the participants of the Contest. You can learn the details here:

Super Easy Volcanos

I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

Here is another repost, we are doing bugs at preschool, so this fits right into what we are doing. I found this cute craft on the Better Homes and Garden website. My kids saw it and could not wait to make it (because it is a bug). I made some modifications to it to make it a little easier for younger kids. Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil. Have the kids paint the toilet paper roll green. OR you can have them color it with a marker OR just wrap it in green construction paper and glue it. While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
