This is a beautifully
illustrated book of many of
the birds children are likely
to encounter.  A perfect
introduction to the world of
backyard birds.

Birds Seed Nest
  • Bird Seed
  • Construction Paper
        (brown, white)
  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • Choose a birdseed
    that is small to make
    it easier to adhere to
    the glue.
  • What kinds of birds are native to your
    area?
  • What kinds of seeds are in the birdseed
    mixture?
  • How can we help support birds through
    the winter months?
Step 2
Cover the glue by sprinkling the birdseed over it.  
Be careful not to smoosh the glue, just lightly
cover it until it sticks.
Step 3
Carefully pour the excess seeds onto a paper
plate.  What remains is your birds nest.
All Done!
Cut out a bird shape and place inside your nest.  
Decorate the bird to represent a bird you've seen
in your own backyard.  (We printed the template
for this bird shape from here)
