What will your child practise?
Build an owl from separate shapes and make a message for someone.
What you need
Pattern sheet, card or felt, scissors, glue and pencils. For felt, you can also use wool and a blunt needle.
Step by step
- Look at the example. Choose colours and cut out the body, wings and pocket. An adult can cut the shapes for younger children.
- Place the wings and draw eyes and a beak. Fasten the pocket along the sides and bottom only. Children aged eight and up can lace prepared holes with adult help.
- Fill the pocket. Younger children can draw a leaf, early writers can add a word and older children can write the recipient a riddle.
