Friday Fun

Today we will make a cutout paper owl for Friday fun. Remember to keep it simple and have fun. You can use construction paper if you have it otherwise find some thick paper you can paint with basic acrylic paint.

Supplies Needed:
construction paper (heavy card stock if painting)
scissors
pencil (to draw your owl shapes)
glue (multi-purpose works best)
paint (if not using colored construction paper)

Start with drawing out the shapes you are going to use for the owl. Circles for the eyes, ovals for the head and body, triangle for the beak. You get the idea. There are no wrong ideas you can make your owl look anyway you want it to.

Cut out the shapes of the owl. Don’t start glueing just yet, you want to make sure all the pieces will fit together first. Once all the pieces are cut fit them to together to see if you need to make any changes or cut new pieces.

Glue the large pieces together and then glue on the smaller pieces. Just like when you draw, large shapes first and work your way down to smaller shapes.

Wow great job! Enjoy your new paper owl.
