We collected tissue boxes, the cube style. We cut the top to the corners for easy opening, and made a nest of newspaper in the bottom. Then I had a bunch of extra fiberfill stuffing that we used, but newspaper or foam peanuts would be OK too. Finally we taped the box shut, and like you I recommended holding the box in their hands. I often tell kids, when send I home clay projects, to imagine that they are baby birds, and they haven't learned to fly yet.Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1302664325630064949.post-54230938630270943732011-05-07T19:04:09.236-07:002011-05-07T19:04:09.236-07:00Good for you!
