When we rowed (a term from the curriculum we use- Five in a Row. It means we studied this book.) Albert, I had the kids each make an egg out of model magic. They colored it to match the eggs in the nest on the back cover. We had found a real nest and put the four eggs in along with a broken Robin's egg. We set them on the table on the porch with our Nature stuff. (We have a collection of molded deer tracks, feathers, shells, etc. that we display on the porch.)
Anyway, I went out on the porch one morning and I found one of the eggs on the ground. Curious, I went to the nest and only found the real broken Robin's egg left! It took about two weeks to find all four eggs. Each of the eggs had bite marks in them. I found them in various places all over the yard. They were so realistic, the raccoon thought they were real!! The raccoon must have left the eggs when he gave up trying to eat them! Too funny. All the eggs are back in the nest complete with the teeth holes. The raccoon hasn't tried to eat them again!
