Preschool: Owl Craft Ideas – A Roundup by Age Group

[Age 5] Moving! Flapping Owl

[Preschool Craft] Wings that move! Flap-Flap Owl | Owl with moving wings made of construction paper

Let’s make an owl with a mechanism that makes its wings flap and have fun playing with it together.

First, use construction paper to create the owl’s body, belly, eyes, and other parts, then glue them together to assemble the owl.

Next, use an awl to make holes at both ends of the owl.

This step should be done by the teacher.

Cut wing shapes out of construction paper and make holes in the wings with the awl as well—make two holes in each wing.

Use cotton twine to connect the wings to the owl’s body.

Then connect the second holes of the wings to each other with cotton twine and tie a knot.

Tie another piece of cotton twine onto that knot.

When you pull the tied twine, the wings will flap.

Display it on a wall or add a background and have fun!

[Age 5] The Night Sky and the Owl

[Kindergarten/Daycare] Fun to make and move! Night Sky Owl Craft

Let’s use a paper plate to create a moving owl in the night sky.

First, paint the paper plate black.

Take two pre-cut paper circles: cut one in half, and cut the other into the shape of an owl’s face.

Attach eyes to the face, then combine it with the half-circle wings.

Have the children draw the owl’s facial details.

Attach the finished owl to a black stick.

Next, once the painted paper plate is dry, tap two brushes together with white paint to splatter it and create a starry night sky effect.

Then, an adult should use a craft knife to make a slit in the paper plate.

Glue on a paper moon, insert the owl on the stick into the slit, and it’s complete!

[Age 5] Origami Owl

[One Sheet of Origami] Easy and Cute Owl Origami | Origami Owl [With Voice Commentary] / Grandma’s Origami

Here’s an idea for making an owl from a single sheet of origami paper.

First, place the white side up and crease the paper in half vertically and horizontally.

Open it, then fold the top edge down to meet the center crease.

Open it again and fold the bottom edge up to meet the crease you just made.

Flip the paper over, and fold the left and right edges in to meet the center crease.

Next, make an outward fold connecting the top corner and the bottom center point.

Turn it over and fold up the bottom edge slightly.

From the center of that folded section, fold it down diagonally.

Turn the model upside down, then fold the small triangular flaps sticking out on the left and right inward at a diagonal.

The base of the owl is now complete.

Use a pen or stickers to create the owl’s face.

[Age 2] An owl whose expression changes

[Autumn Wall Art] The owls’ expressions change constantly and it’s so much fun! A simple, interactive craft for nursery and kindergarten children ages 2 to 5.

Let’s make a cute owl whose expression changes.

This time, it’s an idea for 2-year-olds.

First, prepare the body and wing parts from construction paper.

For the eyes, use sticker-type googly eyes.

Stick them onto the face.

Use the wings as a chance to practice using glue—if they can glue with their fingers, that’s great.

Draw patterns on the owl with crayons, and it’s complete! For children aged 3 and up, you can make an owl with changing expressions by folding a piece of white construction paper (used as the eyes) in the middle and attaching it, so it flaps open and closed.

Try it out in a way that suits your class.

[Age 4] Cute Owl Made from an Envelope

[Preschool Craft] Autumn Craft ♪ Cute Owl Made from Envelopes | Cute Owl Made from Envelopes

Here’s a cute owl craft idea using an envelope.

First, prepare a long No.

4 envelope and place it upside down.

Fold both top corners inward.

Leave about 1 cm of the folded section and fold it straight down.

Flip the envelope over and fold the bottom edge up to the halfway point.

Open it, then make a slit with scissors down the center up to the crease you just made.

Fold it in half again along the center, and open the slit parts outward diagonally.

Turn it over, apply glue to the triangular flaps, and stick them down.

Cut circles from yellow and white origami paper to make the eyes, and glue them onto the envelope.

Finally, cut thin strips of origami paper and glue them on as patterns for the owl’s belly—and you’re done!

Cute parent and child owls

November Origami – Owl

First, fold the paper up to the crane’s basic form.

Take the two open tips (the side that isn’t closed) and fold them toward the center edge to make crease lines.

Next, using those creases, perform an inside reverse fold on both open tips so they align with the center crease.

Fold the closed bottom corner up on both the front and back.

Then fold the bottom corner upward and squash it open like a balloon fold.

Turn it over, and fold the lower tip up along the edge.

Fold the top tip down.

Finally, fold up a little bit to create an owl’s head that slightly sticks out.

Add cute decorations, and you’re done!

[Autumn Animal Origami] Easy Owl 2 Folding Method with Voice Commentary ☆ Origami Easy Owl Tutorial / Tatsukuri

Owls are known as lucky charms, and they’re often used in preschools as a classic autumn theme.

The origami owl we’re introducing starts by folding the paper into a triangle, then aligning the corners toward the center line.

Use the crease lines to form the owl’s body.

Next, fold the top corner down toward the center of the color-change area to make the owl’s face.

Fold the left and right sides toward the center to shape the owl.

The key is to fold while adding a gentle roundness to the form.
