Spring has come to some parts of the country, I assume!! In between the snow storms here in Utah I can hear a few birds outside, singing their lovely songs. It was my turn to teach a preschool group this week and I decided this would be a fun and easy way to entertain 3 year olds while talking about spring!!
Only a few ingredients are needed for this food craft, along with a LOT of wipes or towels for messy fingers!
Ingredients: 10 oz Chow Mein noodles (about 6 cups)
1 C. Chocolate Chips
1 C. Butterscotch Chips
"Bird eggs" any kind of candy shaped like an egg
Wax paper
Place chips in microwave safe bowl. Heat on high about 30 seconds, then stir. Heat in 20 second increments one or two more times if necessary, stirring in between. Pour in noodles and mix thoroughly. Using hands, create little nests on wax paper. Place eggs on top and put in the refrigerator to harden.
Made about 8-10 good sized nests
*I used different measuring cups/bowls so all my *helpers* could have a turn to pour in something. They all got a chance to stir and form their own nests. It was a fun activity!*
