We all love the sounds of the birds chirping in the morning and lately there has been a woodpecker making its home in a tree just outside the daycare.
We have been talking a lot about birds and decided to do a bluebird and nest craft. This craft costs almost nothing, assuming you have the shredded paper we used to make the nest, it was saved from packaging of an item we ordered online. I knew it would come in handy one of these days! If you do not have the shredded paper, you can cut thin pieces of beige or brown construction paper, use a paper shredder if you have one.
We started off by mixing some white, blue and a tiny bit of yellow together to make the colour we wanted for our bluebird. We then use a sponge to paint our hands (but not the thumb) and stamp them on the paper.
We let the paint dry and then glued on eyes and a beak, and spread on glue for the nest. We finished by putting the shredded/crinkled papers under the bird as if it was a nest.
Once dry, you can shake off the extra papers. What a simple yet fun spring craft :)
