In My Nest

Sara Gillingham

Summary: This layered book with little finger puppet is sure to keep your little ones attention while you look at the little bird’s home.

What You'll Need:

• Brown, orange and light blue or white foam sheets/construction papers
• Raffia {or thinly shredded paper bag/construction paper}
• Scissors
• Pencil {to outline/trace letter} 
• Marker/Pen
• Googly eye
• Glue

How to make the 'N’ Nest:

1. Trace and cut an uppercase 'N' out of the brown foam sheet or construction paper. I used a foam sheet that was about 4" x 5" in size.
2. Using the blue and white foam, cut out several small white eggs and a blue bird. I had a little piece of orange that I used for a beak as well. 
3. If you don't have raffia on hand, have your little one snip brown paper to use as a 'nest'. I also used a piece of brown construction paper to form a ‘nest’ shape to glue the raffia onto.
4. Glue the raffia/paper into the nook of the letter 'N'.
5. Add your eggs and bird to finish your letter 'N'.
