Owl Paper Plate Craft

Both my kids love owls and when I mention we are going to do one of my fantastic owl crafts they get excited! I always save these for October and November when the days shorten and get colder and outside time is limited.

We all know owls are nocturnal and their breeding season occurs around the Fall months so it is a great time to make some of our own!! Embrace hooting season with my adorable paper plate owl (by the way you can make as many in different colors if you wish).

If you have an excess of materials why not try and make some of my other easy paper plate animals

Next onto my step by step paper plate owl instructions.

You will need my paper plate owl template to help you:-

Step 1:

Select a paper plate of any size you like.

Step 5:

Attach the 2 wing patterns on both sides of the painted paper plate owl base.

Step 6:

Trace the template patterns on selected colored craft papers (eye base, beak and blush spots) and cut them out nicely.

Step 7:

Attach the pattern cut-outs to the paper plate owl base.

Step 8:

You can add more details to the paper plate owl if you want to. We added little details to the borders of the wings.
