About This Blog

This blog started out as a fun blog about different projects I did with my kids, then it turned into a homeschooling blog, now...it's kind of both. I love doing activities with my kids and making fun things for them to play with. I'm a huge fan of busy bag activities and I am a mild hoarder, as I feel the need to save EVERYTHING, just in case I find a fun activity that requires egg cartons or something. Also, I have a slight obsession with felt. I hope you enjoy this blog and maybe find some inspiration in the randomness of it all. :)

Chocolate Bird Nests

We made these as part of our Easter activities, but they make a fun activity for spring in general. They are very easy to make and the kids had fun helping put them together.

Here's how to make them.





•1 cup chocolate chips ( 6 oz. pkg.)
•1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
•2 cups chow mein noodles
•Jelly beans (or any other egg shaped candy. We used malted robins eggs.)




Put chocolate chips and peanut butter in a microwave save bowl and heat until melted. For best results heat for about 30 seconds at a time stirring in between. (should take about 2 minutes.) Once melted add chow mein noodles and mix until completely coated. Plop by the spoonful onto wax paper lined cookie sheets. Form into the shape of a nest and add "eggs". Put in fridge for an hour to set.


Enjoy!!


(I've also seen recipes that leave out the peanut butter and a couple that used pretzels or coconut. The possibilities are endless. :-D)
