Owl Art

For our Animal Kingdom study we are doing a week on birds, particularly owls.  This art project is from years ago during my internship where my lead teacher did it for our animal habitat unit.

Fold a paper plate in thirds with the sides being the owls wings.  I have a dish of googly eyes and some small, orange triangles cut up.  These are the kind that you peel off the back like a sticker (you can also use orange construction paper but we just happened to have a sheet of orange sticky foam!) 

They first paint the owl with brown paint.  I demonstrated lots of "drip catching" so it's not too thick as most owls around here have white on them as well.  Then they glued on the eyes and beak!

Egg transfering

For our animal kingdom unit we've been doing for a few months we've spent quite a bit of time talking about birds!  Of course eggs are a big topic and this is a work that's been well enjoyed for the past month. The nest and eggs came together as a set at Ben Franklin.  The eggs were lightly glued in and I just had to gently pry them off to make this.
