First Robin Day & Bird Nests Treats

The first day of spring was this week. You might think it would usher in warm breezes and a sneak peek at the sun. Well, not in my home state of Michigan. I snapped this shot that day as I got my mail:

Bummer.

Time for a little spring pick-me-up.

My decades-long friend Debi’s family has a fun tradition that takes place each spring. For those of you living in an area of the country where the spring thaw takes place each year and the birds return from the south, you might make this tradition one of your own!

The idea is a simple one: the person in the family who spies the first robin that has returned from the south is given a special prize or treat. It can be a consumable food item or you might even get creative and find a robin figurine (call it your “bird of happiness”!) that’s officially given to that person each year – along the same lines as a traveling trophy.

Now, the person must have a witness. No going out to get the mail and returning inside to exclaim, “I saw three robins in the front yard!” :)

Later in the evening, take the family out for ice cream as a foretaste of the warm months to come. Or you may want an easy, fun, hands-on edible for your family to make—like Robin’s Nests (recipe follows).

Robin’s Nests

One 12-ounce bag of peanut butter or butterscotch chips

One large can of Chow Mein Noodles

One bag of assorted jelly beans, or speckled malt balls that look like eggs

Slowly melt peanut butter or butterscotch chips in microwave, or in a small saucepan on the stove over low heat, stirring often. Stir in chow mein noodles until they are coated with the melted chips. Have the children help you form “nests” out of the mixture. Place on wax paper to set up. Add jelly beans or malt balls for birds’ eggs.

Happy spring!

  4. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and

  5. Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone
    and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can
    be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed
    and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  7. Winter is still in full swing here in Minnesota. I am patiently waiting for Spring. With Easter coming next weekend, I was looking for something different to make with my children. These nests look like just the thing. Thanks!

  8. Hi Karen and Happy Spring! I love the bird nest recipe and can’t wait to try it. I saw my first Robin yesterday here in Michigan just North of Detroit. I started singing – He rocks in the tree tops all day long, hoping and a bobbing and singing his song…Rockin’ Robin!
    This morning i looked to the East out of my Living room window and saw a huge group of wild Turkeys! There must have been around 25 of them just picking at the grass through the snow. It was so awesome! I hope everyone has a great Saturday!

  9. It is still bitter cold in Ohio but we have sunshine today. That old groundhog who predicted an early spring was nuts! Your post though brought spring into my heart. Thanks!

  10. Love the little birds nest. How many does that recipe make? I need to make something for a bake sale this next weekend and that would be perfect.

  11. We are so not getting our Thaw on yet, up here in New England. But, those little edible bird’s nests will go a looong way toward bringing some sunshine for two little people (and one big one!) in my house. Happy Spring!
