How to make a baby bird nest

Bring the outdoors inside by creating a cozy new home for these adorable pom-pom birds.

* Cut a paper plate in half and staple the rims together (leaving the top of the 'nest' open).
* After your children paint it brown, help them to put the glue- shredded brown paper on to the front to add texture.
* Create the birds by gluing three blue pom-poms to the ends of popsicle sticks.
* Add googly eyes and orange paper beaks for a little personality.
* Get the children to slide the ends of the popsicle sticks between the plates so the baby birds can rest in their

new nest -- and even pop up when they get hungry!
