Go on a Nature Walk and Build a Bird’s Nest

It’s just gotten warm again this week where I live, and we all want to just be outside all the time. It’s light enough in the evenings that we can go on little walks, so I think this would be a great activity to do as a family or in a classroom setting if you have a natural place you can walk or wander.

This build a bird’s nest activity from Pink Stripey Socks is really easy to do and involves some observation as well as artistic and engineering skills.

You can also talk about why birds might choose particular items for their nest, different animals that build nests and learn about birds that live in your area while you work on this project.
