Hi my crafty friends! It’s that time of the month again! The Kids Craft Stars and I are joining forces to bring you our MONTHLY craft challenge post. Every month we have a challenge between us bloggers to in-cooperate a different craft medium or technique into a simple kid craft tutorial. This month’s challenge was to in-cooperate egg cartons and boy did we have fun recycling & crafting with this material!

So without further ado – today I present to you our simple and inexpensive Egg Carton Owls Kid Craft tutorial! Using just a simple leftover egg carton from our Easter celebrations, it was the perfect canvas to make the body of our owls. Then with just some creativity, tons of feathers and glue – our HOOT-TASTIC friends came to life in no time!

If you would like to make this easy and affordable kid craft with your child today, check out the full tutorial below. There are also links to the other bloggers participating in this challenge, so be sure to click around! Happy crafting my friends!

Supplies:

* Egg Carton
* Orange Paint
* Paint Brush
* Multi-colored Feathers
* Glue
* Scissors
* Wiggle Eyes

Directions:

* First tear off the lid from the egg carton. Cut it in half. This is the body for two owls.
* Now you will want to trim down the other egg carton piece {the one with the compartments} to give the look of the eyes/nose of an owl {see the above picture for example} When you have your pieces cut out, be sure to also paint the nose and glue on the eyes in their designated spot.
* Next have children glue on the owl’s feathers to the lid portion of the egg carton.
* To finish off the craft, glue on the eyes/nose portion to the egg carton lid with the feathers, to complete your owl. Then add other embellishments that you see fit or go straight to showing them off!
