One thing that I love about this craft is it’s simplicity. So easy for little hands, which makes it great for a preschool activity. I also love you can build this craft into a lesson plan around spring and maybe even include some stories of Easter and/or mama birds.

You might even have the kids leave their “nest” on their desk when they head out to recess, so that it can be filled with surprises when they return. So many fun ways to include this easy paper bag Easter nest craft into your Easter celebrations!

3. Carefully hot glue the Easter grass into the center of the paper bag nest. If little hands are doing this themselves, then you will want to use white school glue. It will be messier, of course, but messes are fun!

4. Glue each Easter egg to the center of the nest.

As I mentioned above, I love the idea of the kids finding surprises in their Easter nests. Or, maybe they could make them and give them as gifts. If you are using this as a Sunday School Preschool Craft it might be neat to include a printed out bible verse to tuck in each of the eggs!!

Enjoy making this Easter Nest Craft with your family!
