These quick and easy Easter Egg Nests are fun to make with children of any age! They are a great way to usher in the spring season! 
 
 
Easter will be here in a few weeks!  As an early celebration of sorts, I thought these would be a neat project to make with
my kiddos this weekend.  The way these are made highly resembles Rice Krispie Treats.  Just melt some butter and marshmallows and add in your dry noodle of choice.
 
 
We’ve made them with Roman Noodles and chow mein noodles, however our preference falls heavily towards the chow mein 😉
Rice Krispie Cereal would work well too.
 
 
These are the perfect little things to make to usher in Easter and spring 😉
 
 
Enjoy!!
