With Thanksgiving being celebrated last week it’s time to get into gear with our plans for Christmas learning and gift making. Since we have four kids it can be really fun to see the variety of kid made Christmas cards and gifts that they can come up with. Today we are sharing a simple Christmas card made by  Big Red using watercolor and cookie cutters.

Nest Craft

January 17, 2016 By Thaleia 1 Comment

Winter is a great time to learn about birds, bird watching, and nests! If you have feeders in your yard then you can get an up close and personal look at birds. If you do not have access to birds in real-life then books can help do the trick!

We used four different books for reference and to spark some interest for our nest craft project! The books we used which can be found via our Amazon affiliate links were: Birds, Nests & Eggs , My Baby Blue Jays, A Nest Full of Eggs and The Best Nest .

After we looked through the books for ideas of what nests look like we tried making some of our own! We used brown crinkle paper and skinny straw-like raffia.

First we tried to shape them by hand. It sorta worked. Princess wasn’t too happy with how it turned out. I thought it looked pretty nice myself!

Then we used school glue on an empty applesauce cup to help with a nest shape. Princess wanted to try using a small water balloon and a jumbo plastic egg to see if that would work.

Bird Crafts and Activities for Children

I’ve got that mid-Winter nature and crafts itch. You know the one where you want to find good crafts and activities for children. Hoping to brighten up your dreary dark Winter walls with cheerful artwork and projects. Maybe it’s just me with a house that is lacking in windows and natural light!

I am hoping this provides any parent, grandparent or caregiver with a tremendous amount of bird activities to stay busy all Winter long. Do not worry if you do not know much about birds because we have you covered there as well. Check out my Free Bird Watching Resources.
