Can you create a nest to celebrate the beginning of Spring?

Follow these steps:

1. Plan your build (draw a picture or write your steps.)

2. Include labels for your materials.

3. Build your nest.

4. Test your build.

5. Make improvements if needed.

Your nest must follow the following criteria:

- stand/sit alone with no help

- hold 3 "'eggs" (you can use any item to represent an egg so long as it is solid and 3D.)

- made on your own with little help from Mom and Dad

Bonus: Can it with stand a wind from a Spring storm? (you can mimic the wind by having someone else blow air on to your nest.)

Upload a picture of your nest!
