Hello, friend! I’m Martin, and I’m here with my big family. We have brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nephews, and nieces. We are so happy because it’s springtime! Do you know what that means? It’s time for us to build our cozy nests!
We need to find special places called tree hollows to make our nests. Look over there at that big tree! Can you see the holes in it? Those are tree hollows, and they are perfect for us to live in. They will keep us warm and safe, and the wind can’t blow our nests away!
Let’s count the tree hollows together. One, two, three! There are three tree hollows in that tree. Jack, Steve, and Bob, you each get one hollow. And look, there are two more hollows for Tony and Mark. That makes five hollows for five birds! Isn’t that just right?
Now that we have found our tree hollows, it’s time to start building our nests. We will use twigs, leaves, and soft things to make them comfy. We are all going to be good neighbors and help each other. It’s going to be so much fun!
Thanks for joining us on our adventure. Bye-bye for now!
Tree Hollow Hunt: Take a walk in a nearby park or garden with your family. Look for trees and see if you can spot any tree hollows. Count how many you find and imagine which animals might live there. Draw a picture of your favorite tree and its hollows when you get home.
Build a Mini Nest: Gather some twigs, leaves, and soft materials like cotton or yarn. Try to build a small nest just like Martin and his family. Think about what makes the nest cozy and safe. Share your nest with a friend or family member and explain how you made it.
Family Tree Fun: Just like Martin’s big family, draw your own family tree. Include your brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Talk with your family about how everyone is connected. Can you find a special place in your home that feels like a cozy nest for your family?
