Add velcro or magnets to make this bird nest counting activity perfect for travel, a busy bag, or to use on an easel.
This activity may spark conversation with you and your child about the colors of eggs, their sizes, or even about different types of birds. I love it when this happens and we can make a trip to the library to find books that will answer some of our questions.
I like this book, An Egg is Quiet, because it shows so many different types of eggs and what hatches from eggs.
