EEDED TO MAKE THIS NEWSPAPER CRAFT:

• newspaper
• watercolors (we used liquid watercolors but any kind will do)
• paintbrush
• orange cardstock or construction paper
• black cardstock or construction paper or googly eyes
• chalk markers or metallic markers
• scissors 
• glue

INSTRUCTIONS FOR KIDS TO CREATE THIS OWL CRAFT:

1. Start by painting a section of your newspaper (big enough for the body of an owl) with your watercolors. This is totally open-ended, so just let children paint with as many colors and variations as they desire.

The newspaper will be saturated but as it dries it should stiffen back up again. We let our newspaper dry overnight.

HOW TO MAKE A COLORFUL NEWSPAPER OWL CRAFT

Painting newspaper with watercolors is a great way to repurpose old newsprint to turn it into something amazing. We layered several different colors together to give these owls a fun rainbow color, and they turned out gorgeous!

Read our step by step instructions below for how you can transform newspaper into beautiful owls.

2 Cut out the shape of an owl body from your newspaper. Preschoolers can do this on their own, or you may want to draw the shape for them on the newspaper for them to cut out.

3.You will also need to cut out two half-oval shapes for wings and two circles for the big owl eyes. We decided to use unpainted newspaper for these but you could use painted newspaper for these pieces if you’d like 

4. Cut out an orange beak from your cardstock paper and then glue it onto your newspaper owl craft together with your newspaper eyes and wings. Glue black circle pupils inside the eyes, or use googly eyes.

5. Finish your colorful newspaper owl craft by using Fun Chalk markers or metallic markers to draw squiggly lines on your wings and body to define the owl feathers.
