Paper Owl

   So today I was about to do crafts with the boys and it hit me. I know  how I can use this blog in more ways. I'm going to start to put up craft, activities, schedules and other toddler ideas for the every day moms that don't want to spend money on these things. Most of what we do we recycle from household items. You will most likely have these things around the house, if you have a toddler.

Although this week are theme is BUGS. Today we made paper plate owls for our craft, because it is after all the first day of fall.

      

  You will need:

 *a paper plate (the kind with ridges around the edge)

  *brown kid safe paint

  *orange construction paper

  *googly eyes

  *tape, glue, scissors, & stapler

Directions:  You let the child paint the paper plate.While it's drying cut out beak, feet and ears from the orange construction paper. After it is dry you draw cutting lines on  paper plate at 10, 2, 5 and 7 O'clock. Let the child cut on the lines. Those pieces will be the wings.

Place googly eyes, beak, feet and ears where they belong with glue.

Then staple on the wings. Tape a peice of long string to the back and hang where ever you'd like. Hunter chose the window so thats where are little friends are hanging. Most kids really like their art to be displayed in some special way. They take pride in their work. Have FUN! (=
