Spring Math Worksheets – Birds and Nests

Birds of a feather flock together! Get practicing your spring math skills with our bird and nest inspired math worksheets. Each pair of birds and nest can be used as flashcards or a memory game. Multiply by 8, addition facts for 8, number recognition and even a set of blank birds and nests for you to print out and make your own fact sets for.

Another fun idea for the blank birds or nests is to cut them out, glue them together with a toothpick in between and use them as cupcake picks.

Get the birds in a nest color by number activity to round out your Spring Math activities.
