Easter Egg Nest Craft

Supplies Needed

Finished Craft

Supplies Needed: Construction Paper ( any other colors you would like) - Scissors - Glue - Easter Grass - Easter Eggs - Q-tip (optional)

This is a great craft to do at Easter time or just in the spring time. It is a great way to utilize a few Easter eggs and Easter grass that you having lying around the house and is perfect for any bird lovers.

Step 1: The first step is to take a sheet of construction paper and cut out your nest, which can be a circle of any color. You can also use thin cardboard if you want the nest to be a little bit more of a sturdy craft. This can also be accomplished by using multiple sheets of construction paper but is completely optional.

This can be a good opportunity to discuss the shape a nest is with your child and what color they think that the nest would be.

Step 2: You and your toddler can cover the bottom of your nest with glue. With this particular craft it helps to use a lot of glue, lucky for your toddler using too much in this case is not really possible. As long as your child can stay on the paper they should be able to do this step with little to no help.

If you are concerned about wasting glue only open the glue bottle lid a little bit or have your child apply the glue with the Q-tip.

Step 3: Equally fun as the previous step have your toddler place Easter grass on the top of the the glue. Your child can carefully place a few pieces at a time or place all of it at once. To test to make sure that it is touching the glue simply tilt the paper and see what falls off. Any pieces that did not stick can quickly be placed back on.

If you do not have any Easter grass it can easily be made by cutting up small strips of construction paper.

Step 4: There are one of two ways that step 4 can be done. You can either help you child squeeze out the glue along the edge of the of an Easter egg top or bottom. Or you can have them apply it using a Q-tip that was dipped in the glue bottle.

Repeat this step with as many eggs and you and your toddler would like to have on the nest.

Step 5: Finally as your toddler and you have applied glue to an egg top or bottom place it on top of the Easter grass. This way you will double the number of eggs in the nest as Easter eggs that you used, making this an ideal craft for daycares.
