Owl Graduation Craft

For preschool children, get them to create their own graduation owl as a keepsake of their preschool graduation.

Materials: 

  • coloured paper
  • glue
  • paint
  • paintbrush
  • scissors
  • white paper
  • black marker

What to do: 

  • Collect all your materials.

  • On a coloured piece of paper, draw and cut out an owl body. 

  • Stick the owl body onto another coloured paper which will be the the background. 

  • Using the white paper cut out two circles for the owl eyes and stick them on the owl face. 

 

  • With orange paper, cut out a triangle for the owl's beak and 2 bird feet. Stick these onto the owl.

  • Select a paint colour and paint each of the child's hands. Using their painted hands make 2 hand prints onto a separate piece of white paper. 

  • Wait for the hand prints to dry and cut them owl. 

  • Stick the hand prints on either side of the owl body as the wings. 
  • Write above the owl "Look Whoooo's Graduating".
  • Write below the owl "Watch me fly".

The owl is now complete!

Hints and Tips:

  • Once the owl is complete is can be framed and laminated and given to the child as an end of year gift.
  • Use different coloured paper to create colourful background for the owl.
  • Child can directly do each hand print on the paper.
  • Use googly eyes instead of cutting out paper.
