Bless this nest


I found the cutest and easiest craft for spring: birds' nests. All you need are 2 ingredients and you have an adorable and edible craft. Buy a bag of chow mein noodles (mine was $1.65) and a bag of morsels. I used milk chocolate.

1. Melt the morsels in a double boiler or a metal bowl on top of a saucepan filled with boiling water.

2. Mix the chocolate with the chow mein noodles.

3. Let cool a bit and then get messy! Put a blob on a sheet of wax paper or a plate. Let the little one push down the center to make a place for the eggs.

4. Let cool and harden. Add some jellybean "eggs" or other treat. Add a marshmallow peep (if you have one).

Super cute, fast, cheap, and easy! The best part is licking their fingers when they are done!
