Instructional Ideas

• Create a "classroom nest" bulletin board with all of the finished owls
• If you are pairing the activity with the book, 10 Hooting Owls, consider asking kids to have their owl doing something like in the book (i.e. knitting socks)

Classroom Considerations

• Younger kids will have a harder time cutting out the shapes. Consider having a parent volunteer cut them out ahead of time and put into an envelope for each learner. 

Pros

• Template is simple for youngsters to figure out
• Options to personalize each owl are endless— bring out the art supplies and have a blast! 

Cons

• None
