Folded Paper Owl

Step 1:Cut out a circle.

Step 2: Fold in the right and left sides of the circle to make the owl's wings.

Step 3: Fold down the top of the circle to make the owl's head.

Step 4: Cut out a variety of details such as eyes, a beak, feet, and feathers. Glue all of the pieces onto the owl.

Art Challenge: Teach a family member how to make the paper owl. 

                          

STEAM Challenge: Create a chair to support a small stuffed animal.

STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) exploration boosts the development of critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, hands-on learning, and creative thinking.

Art Materials: Choose 3 of the following materials you may have around the house: paper, cardboard, cereal box, paper plate, paper tubes, or straws

Additional Art Materials: scissors and tape

Warm Up: Review different types of chairs such as a desk chair, folding chair, rocking chair, recliner, stool, lawn chair, wheel chair, high chair, throne, and sofa. Do you have any of those types of chairs in your house?

Identify different parts of a chair such as the back, arms, legs, and seat. 

Step 1: Begin to build your chair. Make sure to create the seat, arms, and back of your chair. Remember each chair will be one of a kind! 

                   

Step 2: Check if the chair can support the weight of your stuffed animal. Is it okay if the chair collapses under the weight of the stuffed animal? Yes! We can learn from our mistakes and try again! 

Talk About Art

What type of chair did you make?

What was the most challenging part of building the chair?

Is your stuffed animal comfortable in the chair?

Is your stuffed animal safe in the chair?

Remote Art Class Week 1

Art Lesson: Torn Paper Owlets 

Materials: construction paper (choose any colors you wish and have available at home), scissors, markers, glue stick 

Five Owl Facts for Kids

1. A baby owl is called an owlet.

2. There are over 200 different kinds of owls. They are different colors and different sizes. 

3. Owls have large eyes and a flat face.

4. Owls are active at night. They are nocturnal.

5. Owls eat bugs, small animals, birds, and/or fish.

Step by Step Directions:

1. Draw the Owlet

Draw a large oval for the owl's body. Draw two triangles for ears at the top of the oval. Finally, draw two wings.

2. Rip the Paper

Pick a color you would like to use for the owl's feathers. Cut the paper into strips. Make small snips down the length of the strip. Rip the paper into pieces. Glue the pieces to the drawing to create feathers on the owl. Try to cover the whole owl.

Remember to pat down the pieces so that the owl doesn't lose its feathers!

3. Add Details

Cut out a diamond shape and fold it in half to make an open beak. 

Cut out small strips of paper for the legs and toes.

Trace a cup onto paper and cut out the two circles for eyes. Use a marker to draw the pupils. 

Glue on all of the pieces.

If you wish you may use a marker to draw the owl details instead of cutting and gluing due to time constraints.

Extend this Art Activity - Optional

Recall the 5 Owl Facts for Kids.

Make a mom or dad owl to go along with the owlet.

Step 2: Identify parts of the face and sort the items into categories such as eyes, noses, mouths, hair, ears, and such.
Step 3: Create a portrait using the objects. Move the items around to see what works best! Have fun!
Step 4: Take a photo so I can see your creative one-of-a-kind portraits!
