Paper Plate & Craft Foam Egg Bird In Nest – Kid Craft

You guys! Every time I say “I’m done with the craft foam egg” ideas for Glued To My Crafts, I come up with even MORE tutorials to share with you all. It’s endless in my head! So many ideas to transform ordinary craft foam egg shapes – it’s worth the investment of one single pack!

So today I’m sharing with you my latest and greatest “Nesting Baby Bird” kid craft idea. It all started with a basic paper plate and a craft foam egg shape!

Today’s crafty idea is actually what I would call a “mixed media” craft. We have the craft foam element. We also have the cardstock and of course – we have the tissue paper for the nest. It’s just a mix of FUN materials that are easy to find, merging together for a nice spring themed DIY.

Now enough chit chat from me –  let’s SMASH some random things together and make a beautiful bird themed masterpiece together! You can find ALL the details you need to know, in the full tutorial below!

Happy crafting, my friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished Paper Plate and Craft Foam Baby Chick In Nest art project, on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
