In an effort to keep from boring myself with inane posts about pain, I now bring you something completely different.
A couple weeks ago we learned about animal homes on Sid the Science Kid. Then we built a nest and made a bird to live in the nest.We gathered materials from the yard: sticks, twigs, stems, leaves, dried grass We even found a bug in our materials that we gently returned to the outside.
We used a bowl to help form the nest...
...and glue to hold it all together because we aren't as good at weaving these things as birds are...
and made a bird for our nest... 
...and ended up with this.

I just saw Sid for the first time on Friday! It was about excerice. My 14 year old was with me and we were laughing so hard! I LOVED it! Seriously, it is a very educational show and great for the kids too!
We like Sid, too. :)
This is great. Playing and creating with natural materials makes for a great day! Princess did a great job.
LOVE Sid the Science kid!!!!
Cool project and educational too. I hope a bird moves in soon and is happy to have a nest ready to go.
That is VERY cool! I bet any bird would pay good money for that beautiful home!
Very cute!
My two have been crazy for Sid the Science Kid! :)
It looks like Sid the Science Kid is pretty popular. When we first started watching it Princess really wanted to do the observations and explorations that Sid and friends did. I found great informationon the PBS Kids website. It lists all the materials you need and has step by step instructions. Princess had a lot of fun decorating her science journal (a sketchbook from the craft store).
