Don't Forget to Be Owlsome!

Hoo Hoo Made these adorable Owl Babies?

Pre-K students created these so, so cute owl babies inspired by the book Owl Babies written by Martin Waddell and illustrated by Patrick Benson.
 
They made the owl baby bodies out of papier mache one week, then the next week they collaged buttons, feather, fabric, and pipe cleaners to create eyes, feathers, wings, and talons. We looked at a lot of pictures of real baby owls for inspiration. We also read a great book called Owl Moon written by Jane Yolen and illustrated by John Schoenherr.
 
Pre-K students felt that we really needed to make nests for the owl babies. So students glued twigs, grasses and leaves onto paper plates so their owl babies would be all comfy and cozy. 
Once their owl babies were complete, the children drew them from observation and gave them names (the owl babies in the book Owl Babies are named Sarah, Percy and Bill).
