robins, nests, and clifford
book: The Little Blue Easter Egg by Sarah Fisch
activity: making a nest helper
A nest helper is a bag of things that birds could use to make their nests. We used a mesh bag from our clementines and added bits of string, thread, ribbon, and hair. We cut the string, ribbon, and thread into small pieces (3 or 4 inches in length) and then my daughter stuffed them in the bag. Then she hung it outside near her window where she could watch for birds.
snack: chocolate butterscotch nests with candy eggs
I found this idea on pintrest and they are super yummy!
supplies:
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 bag butterscotch chips
1 pouch fiber one cereal
mini egg candies
wax paper
cookie sheets
scoop or spoon
Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips in microwave for 1 min. Stir. Repeat until melted. Gradually stir in cereal. Scoop cereal into balls and place on wax paper lined cookie sheets. Press the middle down to form nest. Refrigerate until firm. Place eggs in middle and enjoy!
