Crafting with kids: Create an owl with an acorn
Make this fun acorn owl craft in celebration of Spring!

It’s officially spring and that means more time outdoors. Children love to play in the garden and collect items from Mother Nature. It is a treasure hunt, as they discover beautiful leaves, pinecones and acorns. This acorn owl craft is a real “hoot”, easy to make, and, best of all, thrifty.

What you need

  • Acorns
  • Felt scraps (or colored paper)
  • Small googly eyes
  • Glue (craft glue or glue gun)
  • Scissors

How to make it

  1. Help your child collect a handful of large acorns.
  2. Using child-friendly scissors, help your child cut out the beak and wings from the felt scraps.
  3. Glue the body parts onto acorn.
  4. Using a glue gun or craft glue, stick on two googly eyes.
  5. Make a little hat (from the acorn capule).
  6. Find a few small twigs and some real leaves and stick them along with your acorn owl on a piece of felt.
