Funky Birds Nest

Gather together all the things that you need to make the Funky Birds Nest. Take the three old plastic bowls but make sure you have permission to use them beforehand. Put a large bundle of string into each bowl and then add a different colour paint to each, you can choose whatever colours you like. Then add a dollop of gloopy glue to each and give it a good mix.

Take the final old plastic bowl but make sure you have permission to use it. Turn it upside down on a tray. Now cover the whole bowl in the special gloopy string. Now do the same with the other coloured gloopy string. It's a good idea to wipe your hands before you start putting the other coloured string over the bowl so you don't mix the colours up. Then leave this to dry overnight.

When it's all dry very carefully push the bowl out. You will then be left with a string nest. To make the bird to go in the nest take the two pompoms. Glue them together. For the eyes take the white stickers and draw a black dots with a pen for pupils and stick them on. To make the birds beak take a piece of orange card and cut into a triangle shape. Be careful though because scissors are sharp. Then stick the beak onto the bird. Now stick the bird into the nest and add the shredded tissue paper around it.
