4-15-002 empty rolls of toilet paper have children paint them. then decorate with stickers, punch 2 holes in each tubes. take a piece of yarn long enough to go around their necks tie in each hole there you have a telescope to watch the birds.
Date: 4-5-00My daughter did this project in her class, and I'm amazed at how life like it is. Paint each child's hand well, have them rub their hands together, then with their wrists together press their hands to a piece of paper. Give them shapes for the body of the bird, two ovals and a circle to cut out. One oval is the bird's head, the other is his lower half and tail, with the circle his upper body. Help them cut triangular shaped beaks and use markers to make the eyes. These make great parrots or toucans.
2-16-00Birds nest-Mix 2-3cups of grass clippings with fabric stiffener. Mix with fingers until barely damp. Line muffin tin or bowls with plastic bags. Press grass mixer around sides and bottom to form a nest. Bake on 150 degrees for 30min.to an hour. AS soon as nest will hold it's shape, remove from pan and place on oven rack and continue to bake for 1-2 hours. Let children decorate rim of nest with dried flowers and glue a mini bird inside, or make eggs out of dough and paint speckles on them.
