Mister Maker Season 3 Episode 14 Funky Bird's Nest

In this episode of Mister Maker, the theme centers around making a funky bird's nest from simple and easy-to-find crafting materials. The host, Mister Maker, provides a step-by-step guide on how to create the nest using cardboard, scissors, glue, feathers, and a few other simple items.

First, Mister Maker demonstrates how to cut out the base of the bird's nest from the cardboard. He then cuts out a round circle to create the shape of the nest, and proceeds to cut out a smaller circle from the center of the larger circle. This smaller circle would serve as the space for the bird to sit.

Once he completes the base, he moves on to how to decorate the nest. Mister Maker suggests using a range of colorful feathers, arranged in a way that looks like they were placed somewhat haphazardly around the nest. He demonstrates how to glue the feathers to the side of the nest, reminding viewers to use an ample amount of glue to make sure the feathers stay in place.

Next, Mister Maker shares how to make little eggs to go inside the nest. He suggests using scrunched-up pieces of tissue paper, which he rolls into little balls and decorates with paint. These eggs can then be placed inside the nest to give it a more realistic look.

Mister Maker also shows how to create a little bird to place inside the nest. He uses a small pom-pom ball, which he decorates with feathers, googly eyes, and a beak made from orange cardstock.

In addition to making the bird's nest, Mister Maker also shares some funky dance moves to go along with the theme of the episode. He encourages viewers to dance along and have fun while making their own bird's nests.

As the episode progresses, Mister Maker also provides a few variations on the basic bird's nest craft. For example, he shows how to use a paper plate as the base for the nest, and how to create a larger, more elaborate nest using twigs, moss, and other natural materials.

Throughout the episode, Mister Maker emphasizes the importance of creativity and imagination in crafting. He encourages viewers to experiment with different colors, textures, and materials to make their own unique nests.

Overall, the episode offers a fun and engaging craft project for children, while also encouraging them to engage their imaginations and think creatively. By providing step-by-step instructions and a range of variations, Mister Maker makes it easy for children to follow along and create their own funky bird's nests.
