Cute Owl Craft for Preschoolers
Materials Needed: scissors, glue stick, markers, cardstock paper, paper plate, brown paint, fork, Owl Craft Printable Template and Cutouts
Step 1: Gather your materials! Print out your owl craft pieces onto cardstock paper. My favorite thing about this craft is fork painting! Grab your brown paint, dip your fork into it, and press it around the paper plate. This give your owl texture!
Step 2: Use the scissors to cut out your owl pieces. Next, use markers or crayons to color in the cutouts.
Step 3: Next, use your glue stick to paste the pieces to the paper plate. Paste your eyes, nose, and wings. I added a touch of glitter for some extra fun.
