For a school project today the kids and I made Christmas nests. First we raided the garage for abandoned nests. We always have robins nesting in our garage during the warm seasons. We found two. Jordy was hoping there would be an egg in one and I assured her there would be no eggs in them so not to get her hopes up. Lo and behold, when I set the first one down on the floor, the kids went wild. There in the bottom was an abandoned egg! I warned them that it would be rotten inside so they needed to not touch it.
We went out for a walk and collected some small egg-shaped stones to paint and add into the nests as eggs. We brought the nests inside, glitter painted them around the edges, and decorated them with bows and pine sprigs. Then we placed our painted, glittered eggs inside. I think they will make very pretty porch decorations. The one above is mine, and the one below is the kids for their house.
The small glittered egg in the center is the actual real Robin's egg!
