This stick owl craft for kids is so fun since it is made almost entirely of nature elements.
You can create an entire afternoon full of fun by going on a nature walk to collect all of your supplies and then come home to make this adorable owl craft.
Some people are ridiculously in love with cats or shoes, but me…you can call me the crazy owl lady. I love, love owls and owl crafts! The kids craft stars challenge this month is all about sticks so after collecting a few handfuls we turned them into my most favorite thing of course…an owl.

Tutorial:
1. Make owl shape
Start by cutting out the shape of an owl from your cardboard.
2. Measure your sticks
Lay out your sticks on your cardboard shape, adjusting them to make them straight and break off or cutting any pieces to make them fit the shape.
3. Glue sticks, leaves & rocks to the cardboard
Use your tacky glue to glue all of your sticks onto your cardboard. Then glue your leaves on for wings, your rocks for eyes and another small stick for a beak.
4. Color the owl
Use your Fun Chalk Markers to color in the eyes, the beak and to add some fun color and feather texture onto your owl craft.
