Fall Activity for Toddlers ~ Owl Craft

I have a thing for owls, and I think owl crafts are just too cute to resist.  There is something about their over sized eyes and fluffy bodies that make them irresistible.  This is a simple owl craft is a fun exercise for toddlers to work on simple scissor skills.

Owl Craft:

• White paper
• owl template (I drew mine free hand, but here is a link to a cute printable template)
• Brown paper for the owl shape
• Patterned paper for the owls feathers
• Black paper for the branch

The kids received a few Halloween themed treat bags while they were Trick or Treating.  I was about to throw them into the recycle bin, when I noticed the fun patterns on the bags.  The orange plaids and stripes were perfect to make a fall owl craft.  We would just have to cut around the skeletons and skulls:)

Cut out a large owl shape onto brown paper.

Using the patterned paper, cut out lots of patterned feathers and glue them onto the owl. Cut a large black strip of paper for the branch the owl is sitting on.

We used the cut the O and the top of the exclamation mark out of the word “Boo!” to make the eyes and the talons.  I love how these simple owls turned out!
