We took a break from Halloween crafting this week by reading The Little White Owl by Tracey Corderoy and Jane Chapman. After completed our Little White Owl Craft we decided we wanted to make the colorful patterned owls depicted in the story too.
Paper plates work so well to make owls, so we stuck with them on this project. Start by painting three small paper plates one color. After they are dry, use a different color to paint a pattern on one of the paper plates to use as the body for the owl. We mimicked our favorites out of the story in the picture above.
After the pattern is dry that you painted, take another one of the painted paper plates and cut it in half to use as the wings. I used a stapler to attach them to the body.
Next, use a generous amount of school glue to attach the last paper plate to the body as the head of the owl. At this point we also cut out eyes, pupils and a nose out of cardstock paper and glued them on to the face. Luke's owl had a striped nose so he used markers to make the pattern on his nose.
Lastly we cut a slit out of the top of the owls head to finish our owls. They turned out so colorful and pretty!
Luke went with chevron stripes as his pattern...
Andy liked the dotted owl in the book...
And I went with a striped pattern...
I'm telling you, it never gets old creating with my children! We are going to take a break for a couple days to enjoy Halloween festivities and will be back with some turkey fun!!
