Hand Print Birdie and Paper Bag Nest

I love this bird. This was a fun project for Cheyanne to do.

We first went on a nature walk to pick up "Nature" to make a nest. Cheyanne kept saying," Lets find some nature Mom."

We used:a lunch paper bag with the sides folded down, "Nature" such as leaves and small sticks, glue, red paint, white paper, wiggly eyes, yellow paper and feathers.
First we made the bird. Make a footprint on the white paper. Glue on eyes, beak and feathers.



Glue "nature" onto the paper bag to make a nest.









Place the birdie in it's nest.

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 ...
