Chocolate Nests and Playground fun

Yesterday we made chocolate nests. I've been seeing them on a lot of blogs yesterday and we just made up our own but didn't really follow a recipe. We melted about a cup of chocolate chips then stirred in about a half cup fiber one cereal and enough coconut to make a nest consistency. Scoop it on to a cookie sheet and form a nest then the boys added the jelly bean eggs. Ethan enjoyed sampling the jelly beans.
Logan was focused on putting the eggs in the nest. I tried to turn this into a counting activity by having them put 3 eggs in each nest but Logan said: "This bird had a lot of eggs and that one had less. Not all nests have three eggs." I couldn't argue with that so it turned in to a more and less lesson instead.

Then we had to burn off the sugar while the chocolate on the nests set up.
