Make A Bird Nest Helper
Birds make their nests out of whatever they find. Many times, they use string and other things in their nest building. If you would like to see your leftover craft items become part of a bird’s nest, this idea is for you!
Materials Needed:
 Mesh bag, like what potatoes come in- Material scraps, threads, pieces of string and yarn
- A strong piece of yarn or string about 10 inches long
Directions:
- Gather together all your material scraps, threads, string pieces, yarn pieces, and whatever else you think a bird could use in its nest.
- Place all these things in your mesh bag.
- Using the long piece of string, tie the open end of the bad closed tightly and make a knot.
- Using the same string, tie the bag to a tree branch where you see a lot of birds visit often.
Before you know it, you will see your colorful scraps become part of a nest!
