Preschool: Owl Craft Ideas – A Roundup by Age Group

[Age 2] Owl craft made with blow painting

Let’s try making an owl using the blow painting technique.

First, prepare white drawing paper and several colors of diluted paint.

Use a brush to drop the paint onto the paper.

Blow through a straw and enjoy watching the paint spread freely.

Once the paint is dry, cut it into the shape of an owl.

Apply glue to fallen leaves and stick them onto the owl.

Draw the face with colored pens to finish.

You can mount each owl on its own sheet of paper as an individual piece, or line up the owls with name labels and display them together—they’ll look adorable either way.

[Age 3+] Rollicking 3D Owl

Here’s a craft idea for making a cute, round owl using colored construction paper.

Roll the paper into a tube, fasten it, then press down the top to shape it into an owl form.

Use round stickers or origami paper to attach the eyes and beak.

Make wings from construction paper, give them an outward curl, and glue them to both sides of the body.

Next, tear origami paper into thin strips.

If you have patterns and a variety of colors, your owl will turn out nice and colorful.

Glue the strips onto the owl’s body to create a feathery texture, and you’re done!

[Age 2] Practice with scissors! A one-cut owl craft

[Autumn Craft] With template! A cute one-cut owl wall decoration♪

In the class for two-year-olds, we practice single snips with scissors.

Here’s a perfect craft idea for that practice.

The teacher should prepare the parts for the owl—its body, eyes, and so on—by cutting construction paper in advance.

The children will use glue to stick each part in place.

If the teacher demonstrates in front of them, it’s easier for the children to visualize.

Prepare strips of washi-patterned origami paper cut thin.

Have the children make single snips to cut them into small pieces.

These pieces will be glued onto the owl’s belly.

Let the children enjoy creating the owl’s patterns in their own way.

Owl production, Yanagishinyaen

This is an owl craft made using the one-cut method.

Since this idea uses a brush and paints, it makes for a very fulfilling art activity.

First, use a brush and paints to color a paper plate.

It’s a great opportunity to learn how to handle a brush.

Next, once the paint is dry, glue on owl parts made from construction paper.

Finally, make a single cut in origami paper and attach it to the owl’s body to finish.

If you prepare different kinds of origami, you can create colorful owls.

It’s exciting to see what kinds of pieces the children will make.

Let’s guide the activity while watching over them so they can express their individuality.

[Age 4+] Owl Lamp that Lights Up and Delights

[Craft Play] Light up the darkness. Let's make an owl lamp.

Why not try making an owl lamp that gives off a warm glow? First, wrap a toilet paper roll with yellow construction paper and secure it with tape.

Next, prepare brown construction paper about half the width of the roll.

Cut a notch in the center to form a peak, then attach it to the top of the roll.

Remove the toilet paper roll, flatten the top of the construction paper, and shape it into an owl silhouette.

After attaching parts like the eyes, beak, and wings, place a small lamp inside.

You’ll have a lamp with beautiful light shining through the paper.

[Age 4] Owl with leaf-stamp art

Owl Wall Art: A Preschool Teacher Explains an Example Using Fallen Leaves!

Here’s an owl craft idea using fallen leaves.

As preparation, lightly sketch an owl shape and parts like the eyes and beak on construction paper.

Prepare diluted paint and have the children paint the leaves.

Press the painted leaves onto white construction paper like stamps to transfer their shapes.

Change colors and stamp several times, then let them dry thoroughly.

Next, have the children cut out the owl parts with scissors.

Once the leaf prints are dry, cut them out as well.

Use the leaf shapes as the owl’s wings, combine them with the other parts, and glue everything together.

Finish by drawing the eyes and cheeks with crayons!

[5 years old] Owl with Sparkling Eyes

[Kindergarten/Daycare] October: Bright-Eyed Owls in the Dark – Art and Craft Activity

Why not try a craft project featuring sparkling eyes using aluminum cupcake liners? First, lightly sketch the owl’s body, the moon, and some circles on construction paper.

Cut out each shape with scissors, then cut the circles in half.

Next, place an aluminum cup on the owl’s body and fix it in position where the eyes will go.

Double-sided tape makes it easy to stick on.

Then, attach yellow circles on top of the aluminum cups, add small black circles to create the pupils.

Glue a beak between the eyes.

Prepare origami paper cut into heart shapes; paste them pointing downward in rows to represent the owl’s feathers.

Stick hearts onto the pre-cut half-circles as well.

Use the half-circles as wings and attach them to the owl’s body, then glue the owl and the moon onto the background to finish!
