| Bird Nest and Eggs project |
| You put the glue in the cup with the yarn and mix. L doesn't like getting his hands messy, but he did it. |
| Then you flatten the yarn around the bowl (stopping 3/4 the way down). |
| You let it dry for 24 hrs and then remove from the bowl |
| They included a white crayon so you can draw a pattern on your eggs. Then you paint them blue. EVERY SINGLE item you need is included (well, minus the paper towels) |
| Bird Mask and Wings Supplies. They included beaks for a kiwi, duck and woodpecker. The child puts Velcro dots on each beak, so the child can switch out what bird he/she wants to be. |
| Making the mask. The parent was instructed to tie the knot on each end of the elastic after the child threaded it through. |
| Lacing elastic through the wings |
| Completed Projects |
| Close Up of the Nest and Eggs. |
| This book gave information about various birds and then had space for the child to draw the bird they talk about. |

Final value Bluum's Prices: $37.98. Amazon's prices (and other websites)$38.40)
Final Thoughts: I really like both of my boxes this month. I was disappointed in the doll, but both boxes were worth well over the $24.95 I paid. I could remove the doll from my box and it would still be worth over $24.95. I am going to continue my 15 month old's subscription. I canceled my 3 year old subscription as he is turning 4 and needs a older box.
