Colorful bird nest

This week we are learning about birds and the craft we did yesterday was make bird nest: with noodles!
To do this craft you will need:

Spaghetti noodles
Paint
Glue
Bowl
Wax paper

The first thing you do is cook the noodles. Next you take a bowl and layer it with wax paper. (I didn't use wax paper and instead used to paper bowls for every child.) Pour out about a tablespoon of paint and a tablespoon of glue. Mix it together. You then take the noodles and mix it in with the paint and glue. Once it's all mixed in, leave it out to dry. As something extra I gave the kids their own plastic egg to put inside their bird nest.

Once it dries, take the nest out of the bowl and remove the nest from the wax paper, and that's it. Your child now has a fun bird nest of their own!


Again, mine look a little different because I just used paper bowls. Either way, the kids had lots of fun making them and it's super easy
