Back to School Owl Craftivity

By

Back to school is just around the corner and I know that I am not the only one who is looking for a new  craft that is both fun and also gives the students a chance to show us a little more about them. Since I am going full force with an owl theme, I decided to have all the kids make their own owl out of pieces of scrapbook paper. Here is what I came up with…  Ta-Da! Isn’t he cute?!?!

I used my iPhone Michaels app yesterday and picked up a pack of 180 pieces of colorful and fun scrapbook paper at 40% off!!! 

This is what I did. I made some stencils out of card stock that I found at dollar tree. I made one set of the wing, belly and body for each table group to share.

As I was making it I decided that it would be easiest and best to print out the eyes, beak and feet for them to color rather than have them trace them. I made a sheet that combines these for each student to cut and color.

  I also made a writing prompt on the inside of the owl.

There are two ways that you can use the prompt.

This is a perfect activity for back to school because the students get to show off their individuality and you get to see both their creativity and writing level. 
If you are interested in this goodie, I am selling it on Tpt here.
This 11 page pack includes:

-A page of directions
    – Example pictures for steps of how to make it
  – A “Whoo’s in Our Class” Sign
    – Copies of the template to print out (owl body, wings and belly)
 
-A worksheet for you to print off a page for each student of the eyes, beak and feet to have them color
– A Writing prompt to go inside. This includes a rough draft/ planning worksheet for the students and the option of just having them fill it in

  I made this pack as user friendly and easy as possible for you to use.  Hope your kids have a HOOT with it! Visit my Teachers pay Teachers account to see more owl goodies!
