Spring Bird Nest Craft

This post may contain affiliate links.

It is spring!  And we are loving it.  Today I want to share with you a darling and simple spring bird nest craft for kids.

Yesterday we enjoyed a very warm day.  We talked about Spring and all of the wonderful things about it.  We went on a long walk to the park, we made little birds in a nest, planted seeds, weeded the garden, and read some books about Spring.

How to Make this Spring Bird Nest Craft:

You will need a paper bag, some shredded paper- green and tan, and a bird template to color and cut out.

Roll the paper bag down all the way to the bottom to look like a nest.  Fill with some shredded paper to look like a nest-like filling.  Color and cut out your little bird to put into the nest. Cut out a couple of little eggs to add to the nest, if you’d like.

That’s it.  Super simple & very cute.  We happen to have a little cardboard castle hanging around right now.  The kids thought it was the perfect spot for the bird’s nest to rest.  (Our bird is named Jewel- like in Rio!)

Here is a fun app for your iPhone or iPad- Chirp! Bird Songs  -they have different versions for different parts of the world.  Great app!  We were outside today & the kids heard a bird chirping.   They immediately went to get the iPad to figure out what it was.  We learned from the app that it was a Chickadee.
Now get outside & enjoy your Spring weather- whatever it may be!
