This simple-to-make owl is a cute craft that is made from three paper plates. |
| Supplies needed: - 3 paper plates
- Yellow, brown or orange construction paper
- Scissors
- Glue (or a stapler)
- Googly eyes (optional)
- non toxic Crayons, paint or markers
| | | On one paper plate, fold about a third of the plate over (have the bottom of the plate facing forward). This paper plate will be the owl's head. | | On the folded part, cut two short slits and fold them back up. (These will be the owl's tufts - although they look like ears, they are only feathers. An owl's ears are simple holes on the sides of the head). Glue the center section down. | | Glue googly eyes on the folded-down section (or cut two large circles and glue them down, then draw a dark dot in the center). | | Using construction paper, cut a small half-circle with a little square off the rounded side. Curve the edges around, forming a cone. Glue or staple it shut. | | | Glue the cone to the paper plate (using the rectangle, folded inside the cone), just beneath the folded part of the paper plate. | | Glue or staple the head to another paper plate. | | Cut another paper plate in half (these will be the wings). | | Glue or staple the wings to the body at a slight angle. Using construction paper, cut two tiny feet. Glue them to the body. | | Color in the owl, drawing feathers, wings, or other patterns. | |
