Nesting

Written by Heather Haupt 1 Comment

What are we doing?

Nesting, of course!

During recent trips to the zoo, the boys developed an interest in eagles.

Naturally, one thing led to another, and we started reading up on them. This reminded me of an idea a creative friend of mine found -making an eagles next using rolled up newspapers. We were supposed to paint them, but for some reason the boys lost interest in slapping copious amounts of brown tempora paint, so we quit half-way thru.

The boys still enjoyed ‘pretending’ to be eagles and collect ‘sticks’ for their nest. They proceeded to then go and find food to bring back to the baby birds.

…and showing off their impressive talons!

Trey, is in a “must be near mommy” phase and not at all interested in birds nests yet
