Winter Owl Handprint Craft

Some of the reasons we love handprint crafts are that they’re simple and cheap to make! All you’ll need is some colored paper, scissors, and glue. It doesn’t get much easier than that, right?

In case you’re curious, we prefer using colored card stock over construction paper because we love the vibrant colors of the card stock. If colored card stock isn’t an option for you, feel free to use construction paper!

Supplies

• Colored cardstock or construction paper
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Pencil
• Snowy owl craft template (enter your email in the form at the end of this post to have the link sent to you)

Directions

Download the snowy owl craft template, print, and cut out the pieces.

Place the white owl’s face at the top of the owl’s body and glue it in place.

Glue the owl’s beak so it’s halfway on the face and halfway on the body.

Make the owl’s eyes by gluing the black circle onto the larger yellow circles.

Place the completed eyes in the middle of the owl’s white face and glue them down.

Glue the owl’s feet at the bottom of the owl’s body, letting half of the feet hang over the bottom of the body.

Trace your child’s right and left hands on the gray card stock and cut out.

Place your child’s handprints, one on each side, with the thumbs pointed up on each side of the owl body, and secure them with glue.

Isn’t that such a simple and cute winter animal craft for kids?

Winter Children’s Books

Reading aloud to kids is one of the best ways to bring fun and learning into their lives this winter. It provides them with unique opportunities to learn and grow, explore different climates, exercise their imagination, and build essential language skills.

Kids can explore stories through different voices and characterizations, allowing for a richer experience than if the story was read silently.
