Kindergarten garden art/ 2nd grade bird nests

Trying to include a variety of cutting and pasting projects while making them fun is sometimes a challenge but not this week! We reviewed the story of Peter Rabbit and his adventure in the garden then drew our garden with the rabbit family and Mr. McGreggor. For the garden we did a cut and paste project using seed cataloges to supply the vegetables. They did a great job and had a pretty good time. Not a bad way to build a skill too.

In trying to make a 3d project interesting for the 2nd grade and help them learn a bit a too we came up with the idea of making nests and luckily I found speckled colored candy eggs to finish the project. They used a cardboard base and 2 kinds of paper shred for gift bags to make the nests. They had to construct them in such a way that they eggs did not fall out. We glued in the eggs but I heard that almost all of them got eaten before they left the building. Candy can be that way.
