Then we made an owl out of a paper bag. You cut an upside down U in
the open end of the bag to leave 2 feet. You add 2 pointed ears, a
diamond mouth and two eyes. Have the children
color lines for his hair and add two black
claws. Stuff the bag with some newspaper. That day we went on a
walk and we each looked for a twig. We used that twig to perch the
owl on. Just put the twig near the bottom
of the owl and staple the bag together.
