Owl Babies - stART project

Since we're learning about owls this week I decided to do the book Owl Babies by Mark Waddell for our stART project. Bekah has really enjoyed this book since we got it at the library last week. It's an adorable book about three baby owls who are waiting for their mommy owl to come home.

First, we took a piece of black construction paper and glued on a strip of brown construction paper for the tree branch. Then I drizzled on the glue while Bekah added the cotton balls for the owls body. Bekah would tell me which owl she was making from the book. The three owls are Sarah, Percy, and Bill. We also got to talk about how the baby owls were white and fluffy while the mommy owl was brown.

Then we added the baby owls feet. These basically looked like upside down orange hearts.

We then added orange beaks and googly eyes to our owl babies.

I used colored pencils to add a moon and stars and our owl babies were finished.
