I love doing crafts with my kids but this year my 2 older boys are less interested in crafts. Thankfully my girls like to do crafts so when my preschooler made a paper plate owl craft in his Classical Conversations afternoon preschool class they wanted to make it too! I cannot take credit for this craft (Thank you Aubrey).
Materials needed for craft:
Paper plate
Orange construction paper
Yellow construction paper
Black Sharpie
Glue / scissors
Crayons and/or markers
First fold sides of the paper plate (this will be the wings). Glue them (do not use a glue stick, it will not hold). Then fold the top of the plate over the wings and glue. Allow the glue to dry for a few hours. I placed a heavy object over the plate so that the folds would not pop up.
While the glue dries cut out circles for the eyes and feet. Once the glue is dried kids can color their owls and then glue the eyes and feet on the owl. In the center of the eyes use the Sharpie and make black circles for the pupils.
Aren’t they cute? Keep in mind they were made by a 6 and 2 year old.
What Fall crafts are you making with your kids?

I think these are perfect! I think I will do these with my daycare kids but probably use staples to hold the little owl together.
These owls are adorable! I think they would be perfect to do with your daycare kids.
Owls are by far one of my favourite birds and this craft is a hoot!
I find that my girls love crafting but my son isn’t as interested. I can totally see my daughters using up all of our feathers on this owl.
My boys have always loved crafting. My little guy would go feather crazy, too 😉
Ah, so cute! We have an owl or two outside that we hear every morning and my daughter is a bit obsessed. I got her a little stuffed owl and now I should make these with her.
I think my kids made these back in preschool! What a fun craft idea.
aw how sweet are those owls. What a fun craft for kids to get ready fro Halloween.
Rebecca, Our family does not celebrate halloween so I try to find other Fall related crafts for them to do.
I’m partial to owls and these are the cutest! Definitely an easy craft for little hands and they came out so adorable! The big owl eyes make the whole craft! lol
This is so cute. My son and I always made hand turkeys when he was little.
I think I still have the hand turkeys my kids made when they were little! So cute!

It’s nice to see a craft that’s not a pumpkin. This owl is very cute,
This is a really cute craft idea! I think I saw something similar at our library as a make-and- take craft. All the kids at the table seemed to really be getting into coloring and crafting their owls!
I think these turned out cute. They’d be a fun craft to do w/the Sunday School class too.
Super cute! My kiddos love crafts, and something like this would be such fun. I will have to see if they’d like to make these too! So fun.
I think this is so cute! My little girl loves owls, so we will be doing this craft.
My mom likes owls, so I think I’ll have my youngest make one for her. 🙂

My goodness those owls are absolutely cute. Simple yet creative craft work which has come out really well. I would love to put my kids in to such craft work so they get more involved & expose their talent as well.
Oddly, I like owls now lol. I think the pair in our backyard let me se into their world. The boys like them too. This looks like a fun activity they can do themself.
