Craft Supplies:

Before you start crafting, gather the necessary materials. Having all your materials ready before you start will make the crafting process smoother and more enjoyable for the kids.

  • Decorative, Plastic or Burlap Leaves

  • Colored Cardstock Paper
  • School Glue
  • Craft Scissors
  • Small Wiggle Eyes

Directions:

  • Next grab all your cardstock paper sheets and scissors.
  • Go ahead and cut out some triangle beaks, ears etc. for each leaf you glued down.
  • To finish off the Leaf Owls craft, simply glue your newly made cardstock pieces and pair of wiggle eyes in place, on the leaf shape.
  • Use the Sharpie marker to draw on some stick legs.
  • Add other embellishments you see fit {maybe some glitter, small bows or stickers!}
