Originally reviewed on TPTSuper cute easter craft
This was a super cute activity for my first graders. They loved being hands on and of course having food to use. The students really got into building the nest and they did a great job.

My students LOVED this activity. We did this right before Easter and the students were competing with one another to see who could build the best nest.

Originally reviewed on TPTA fun STEM activity
The students worked as partners in making their nest. They really enjoyed it. We experimented to see how many additional eggs the nest would hold.

Originally reviewed on TPTGreat activity, promoted perseverance
My students loved being engineers for a bit, they struggled at first and we had a great conversation at the end about not giving up and to keep trying.

Originally reviewed on TPTSTEM activities are awesome!
We really liked trying to build bird houses with these materials and asking/answering questions about them. The only thing that I would change is to make some of the questions editable and/or give different options. My three, four, and five year olds felt we were asking the same question a few times. 🙂
