In many parts of the US, robins singing on the lawn are one of the first signs of spring, which makes these pages good for a spring or Easter lesson. The American robin has a gray-brown back, a dark head, a red-orange breast and a yellow beak. Kids love the eggs, which are a famous sky-blue color that even gave a shade its name.
For the eggs, try a light turquoise or sky blue rather than a dark blue. A brown crayon used on its side gives a twiggy texture to the nest. Add a few bits of real dry grass with glue for extra fun.
