Fall Owl

Looking for something fun, creative and EASY to do with your children? Here is something I did with my boys yesterday. All you need is construction paper, washable paint, glue and a paint brush/roller.


I Started by folding a piece of paper in half and then cut out an owl body shape. Put glue on the back and stick it to a slightly larger piece of paper. I taped two pieces of white together for the background.
Here are the two body's glued down
I couldn't find any thick paint brushes to paint on the boys hands with but I had this mini paint roller that worked for us. You can also just smash their hands into it too. I also didn't have anything to put the paint onto so I took one of my dinner plates and covered it with foil. Worked great for us.
Cover the whole hand with your paint.
Stamp with the painted hand on the sides of the owl to make wings. My 1 1/2 year old did the blue and was a little to fast for mommy. He got a little slap happy with his painted hands. But its still so cute anyways! My 3 year old did the brown one.
Then after you have painted out the hands/wings on the owl cut out some white circles, draw some black dots in the center and glue them on. I then cute out from a yellow/orange paper some feet and nose. The boys loved helping to put these together!
