Preschool Owl Craft

Supplies

• Paper Plate
• Brown paint (or any other color your child wants)
• Paintbrush
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Colored cardstock or construction paper
• Owl template (download form located at the end of this post)

Directions

Download the owl template, print and cut out the pieces you need.

Paint the paper plate in 1-2 light coats of brown paint. Let dry completely before moving on.

Create the owl’s eyes by gluing the yellow circle off-centered on the white part of the eye like in the pictures below. Cut off the excess yellow paper.

Finish the eye by gluing the black part of the eye to the middle of the yellow section.

Take the completed eye and glue it to the center of the owl eye outline. Place the finished eye area and glue both of them to the paper plate.

Grab the owl’s beak and glue it between the two eyes.

Glue the owl’s wings on each side of the paper plate, just below the eyes.

Finish off the owl by gluing the feet to the bottom of the paper plate, in between the wings.

Isn’t this just the cutest little owl craft?! We love how big his eyes are!!

This owl craft goes perfectly with our toilet paper roll mouse craft, this acorn craft for preschool, or this paper plate apple craft.

We hope you have a fun time making these crafts in the fall!
