“Build a Nest” Scavenger Hunt [Printable Spring Nature Activity for Kids!]

With the sounds of the American Robin in the air, I wanted to make a super fun nest building craft that was fun and easy for my kids to do! Learn more

I’ve made a fun printable scavenger hunt + instructions that can actually be turned into a sort of “scavenger satchel” so that the nest process is fun for everyone involved. Learn more

Staple the scavenger hunt and instructions so that they are facing outward on 3 sides leaving an open top to put in the goodies.

Explain how birds use each of the items to make a nest and to gather a fair amount of each for their own "nest".

It's fun, it's messy, it gets their attention and it's best to get done first so that they can dry while the rest of the nest is being made.

There are some general instructions on the card, but depending on the age, your kiddos may or may not follow that.

Hole punch 4 evenly spaced holes on the inner edge of the bowl. Tie evenly sized pieces of yarn to each hole.
