Once those beautifully colored owl pages start to pile up, don't let them go to waste! These easy and affordable crafts are perfect for putting your masterpieces to creative use.
Turn your finished owl into a fun costume piece! Cut out your colored owl's face, then glue it onto a sturdy paper plate or a piece of poster board. Cut out eyeholes and attach elastic string or ribbon to the sides for a wearable mask.
Make your owl take flight! Carefully cut out your colored owl. Glue thin strips of construction paper to the sides to create simple wings, then attach a small paper clip to the bottom for weight. Toss it gently and watch your owl glide!
Let a wise owl hold your place in your favorite book. Cut a slender, full-body owl shape from your coloring page. Reinforce it by gluing it onto a piece of cardstock, then cover with clear tape or contact paper for durability.
Create a charming mobile to hang in a bedroom or classroom. Cut out several different colored owls from your pages. Tie thin strings to each owl, then suspend them at varying heights from two crossed popsicle sticks or pipe cleaners.
Bring your owl to life with this simple puppet. Glue your cut-out owl to the front of a paper bag. Cut a small slit or flap near the bottom of the bag for a finger to “peek” through, perhaps as a little mouse friend or an owl baby.
Add a sensory dimension to your owl art. Glue your colored owl cut-out onto a piece of construction paper. Embellish it with craft feathers for wings, cotton balls for fluffy chest feathers, or even googly eyes for extra character.
Cast a soft, nocturnal glow with your owl. Carefully cut out your colored owl, ensuring it's sized to wrap around a clean glass jar or plastic bottle. Glue the owl to the outside of the container and place an LED tea light inside for a gentle, owl-themed night light.
Spark imagination with these unique story prompts. Cut out six small, distinct owl images or owl-related elements (like large eyes, a moon, a tree branch, a “hooooo” speech bubble) from your pages. Glue one image onto each side of a small cardboard box or foam cube to create a set of story dice.
Give your pencils an adorable owl upgrade. Cut out small, sturdy owl shapes from your colored pages. Glue the back of each owl to a pipe cleaner or a thin strip of cardboard, then coil it around the top of a pencil for a fun topper.
Let an owl greet visitors to your room. Cut out a large, full-body owl from your coloring page and reinforce it with cardstock. Cut a circular hole near the top, then cut a slit from the hole to the side, allowing it to easily slip over any doorknob.
