In 2015 I had an owl craze period. Books, crafts, songs, TV shows and even a costume. For a fun owl craft for kids, please scroll down. Please keep reading.
To pronounce the word OWL in Dutch is not easy. The Dutch word for OWL is “UIL” (pronounce: /œy̯l/). When my kids were younger, I playfully taught them how to pronounce these kind of words with -ui- by reading stories to them, like “Good Night Owl” in English. Then they would know what the story was about. But then read the book again in Dutch. I also showed them one of my childhood TV shows: “Meneer de Uil”. It was very complicated to listen to, as a small child. I think it was more about the puppets and the song.

To make it even better, we made an owl craft. Then, I got the idea for M’s Halloween costume. You guessed it….an Owl Costume for Halloween. Read along with us. Just click the book below!
Owl Craft
I like owls! And that’s one of the reasons why M and I got creative with paper bags, construction paper and real feathers to make a fun owl craft.
For the older kids or moms (hehe) I found this craft that I would LOVE to make one time!! But now it is time for a craft for the little ones.
Materials you’ll need:
- paper lunch bag
- glue
- scrap book paper
- scissors and scalloped scissors
- 2 cup cake liners
- feathers
- Leave the lunch bag folded flat. The bottom part of the bag is facing away from you. Cut the 2 corners off from the bottom part of the bag, so you’ll get a triangular shape in the middle of the owl’s forehead.
- Cut 2 black circles out of construction paper that will fit in the cupcake liners or color 2 big dark circles in the cupcake liners. Glue them in the cupcake liners and carefully flatten them. Glue the cupcake liners under the bottom, triangular part of the bag.
- Cut strips of colorful scrap book paper with scalloped scissors. Glue the strips on the tummy.
- Use feathers for wings and construction paper for the feet.
- Have fun with your owl!
