How to Make a Snowy Owl

Step 1

• Line up 5 of the large popsicle sticks side by side in an arrow formation.
• Put a bead of Elmer’s glue on another popsicle stick and place it at an angle across the others.
• Repeat this with another popsicle stick.
• Give the glue some time to dry.

*You may even want to do this step the day before and let it dry overnight.

Step 2

• Once the glue has dried, place the popsicle sticks, flat side up, on some newspaper.
• Pinch a pompom with a clothespin to form a “paint brush”.
• Squeeze out a little white paint and paint the popsicle stick frame.
• Set it aside to give the paint some time to dry.

Step 3

• Print out the snowy owl craft template.
• Use it to cut some wings from white paper.
• Then cut the large circles and beak from gray paper (or color of your choice).
• Finally, cut the smaller circles from white paper also.

Step 4

• Glue the small white circles into the larger gray circles to form the eyes for your snowy owl.
• Draw on some details and the centers of the eyes.
• Then draw some details on the wings.

Step 5

• Now that the paint has dried, wrap some white yarn around the center of your owl to add a little fluff.
• Be sure to leave the top and bottom uncovered so that you can add other elements.
• When you have it covered as much as you want, trim the yarn and tape down the end on the back of the popsicle sticks.

Step 6

• Use the glue stick to put the eyes and beak in place.
• Then use the Elmer’s glue to attach the wings. Don’t over-glue and give the glue some time to set up before moving the owl around too much.
• *If you chose not to wrap your owl in yarn, you can also use the glue stick to attach the wings instead of the Elmer’s glue.

Step 7

• Finish off your snowy owl craft with some more marker details, including the horns and tail feathers.

Now that you know how to make a snowy owl, create some friends for your owl. How about making a penguin craft or polar bears like these and then create an entire winter scene. Tell a story or put on a show with your creations.
