| From FunFamilyCrafts.com |
You Will Need:
Paper Plates
Brown Paint
Paintbrushes
Yellow, Orange, Black and White Construction Paper
Glue Sticks
Scissors
Directions:
Cut one paper plate in half. You will need two large orange circles, 2 medium white circles and 2 small black circles. You also need an orange triangle. You can have these pre-cut for the younger kids or include cutting them out as part of the craft for the older kids. Paint one full plate and 2 halves brown. Once dry, Glue the halves to the sides of the full plate to make wings. They can be up, like in the picture, for a flying owl or down against the sides of the full plate for an owl who is sitting on a branch. Glue the large yellow circles in the top middle portion of the inner circle of the full plate. They should be touching in the middle. Then glue the white circles in the middle of the yellow and the black circles in the middle of the white. Glue the orange triangle, point down, below the eyes.
This is a fun craft and fairly easy for kids of all ages to do!
