Nests

Pickle has lately had a fascination with nests. He likes to build nests and look at nests. He talks about birds and their nests.

We recently set up an activity building a nest himself. We collected nest building materials from the garden and then made some salt dough as a base.

Pickle and Penguin love collecting sticks, grass and moss from around the place and Pickle really enjoyed putting them together with the salt dough to make a little nest.

We made the salt dough brown by adding some coco powder, and watched a video of a robin building a nest for some top tips. Pickle took it into preschool as a present for the preschool leader because he said she likes nests too. So sweet.

Until next time.....
