Skill: science

Materials: plastic netting or mesh bag (like those that oranges are sold in), fabric scraps and/or yarn

• This simple activity is great for observing birds! Gather scraps of yarn and/or strips of fabric cut 1/4 inch wide and at least 6 inches long.
• Put the scraps and strips into an empty net produce bag. Pull the ends through the netting all around the bag, so it looks like a bundle of loose scraps. Then tie off the top of the bag.
• Hang the bag from a tree branch and look out for birds that come to gather nest materials! You can also check the bag for signs that birds have been there.
• Whenever you walk around the neighborhood, look out for bird nests. You just might spot scraps from your bag being put to good use!
