This adorable PAPER PLATE BIRD NEST CRAFT<\/strong> for kids is just perfect for spring! Up on the tree branch there\u2019s a sweet little nest with the cutest little chick, freshly hatched from its egg, popping up to say hello!<\/p>\n

This is a super cute and easy bird\u2019s nest craft to make and a really fun way to chat to kids about real birds, their nesting and their natural habitats too.<\/p>\n

Spring really is such a great time of year to encourage kids to take an interest in the natural world around us. There\u2019s just so much going on! Buds are starting to open on the trees and the first blossoms are appearing. Frogs are spawning in the ponds and lambs and chicks are out in the fields. In our gardens we can see snails and insects coming out of hibernation and the birds busy building their nests.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019ve finished making your chick and nest craft why not enjoy some time outside in the yard, or nearby park or countryside watching some real birds?\u00a0 They\u2019re so busy at this time of year, chattering loudly to each other and gathering sticks, moss and feathers etc. to make their real nests!\u00a0<\/p>\n

You could make yourself some fun bird spotting binoculars<\/a> and even have a go at building your own nest with real twigs!<\/a><\/p>\n

One of our favourite things to do in spring, is to brush our yellow labrador, in the garden and leave his fur in a pile on the grass. We then run inside and settle down to watch through the window. It literally only takes a few minutes before the sparrows start coming down to collect some fur for their nest building!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last winter we had to take down a broken, crumbling, ivy covered fence and hidden inside the undergrowth we found three old nests all lined with our dog\u2019s fur! It really was a wonderful WOW moment for the kids!<\/p>\n

So grab your paper plates and let\u2019s make some cute Paper Plate Bird Nests. They\u2019re such a fun way to encourage a love of nature in our kids. When you\u2019re done, you could make a tasty bird feeder treat<\/a> for the real birds in your garden too.<\/p>\n
