I have an awesome American Robin Study Unit that goes along with this craft here)

Feel free to sub mud for glue if you are somewhere it's not good to get messy! For my kids, since they are young, I just put a giant plop of glue/dirt in the middle of their bowl for them to spread out and use as needed! (P.S.

and set them out to find the items on the nest scavenger hunt printable - Explain how birds use each of the items to make a nest and to gather a fair amount of each for their own 'nest'. Hole punch a hole on each side near the top and make a strap of sorts so that your child/student will be able to wear it over their chest or shoulder.

Create the cute 'Scavenger Satchel' - Staple the scavenger hunt and instructions so that they are facing outward on 3 sides leaving an open top to put in the goodies.

Print out the nest scavenger hunt and instructions - cardstock works best!.

Depending on the age of the kids, the nests can be as detailed as is appropriate.įor fun, I also added a yarn hanger to it so the kids can see their toy bird of choice sitting in the nest they made on their pretty painted eggs! Since this craft uses a disposable bowl, the structure isn’t super important making it way easier for kids of all ages to do. Now let’s get nest building (based on the American Robin!) hunt and How to make this nature based nest craft with the kids I’ve made a fun printable scavenger hunt + instructions that can actually be turned into a sort of “scavenger satchel” (don’t worry, you’ll get it when you see the pictures!) so that the nest process is fun for everyone involved.

I’ve been absolutely fascinated with this common bird, and it’s so fun to watch them in the yard! Nests are fun to make in almost any form, but I thought it would be fun to do a bit of research to find out how birds actually do it. Spring is here – with the sounds of the American Robin in the air, I wanted to make a super fun nest building craft that was fun and easy for my kids to do!
