This simple owl babies craft is adorable and super simple which makes it perfect for preschool or kindergarten classrooms.

Owls are a staple of fall and a favorite sign of fall among kids and adults. You can use this fun cotton ball owl babies craft when studying owls, the letter O, fall creatures, forest creatures, or birds! The simplicity of the craft makes it ideal for the classroom, but it is still cute enough to display with pride. Kids will love making these darling little baby owls in the nest.

Getting the Owl Babies Craft Ready

In advance, you’ll need a few supplies to save your sanity on craft day. The more you do in advance, the less time this craft will take in class. You can always draw on the wings and feathers for really young kids, or let the kids draw them on themselves if they are a bit older.

  • Brown paper
  • Orange paper
  • Googly eyes
  • Black marker
  • Cotton balls
  • Scissors
  • Blue paper

Before you do the craft with the kids, cut out three owl bodies for each child and three beaks.

I made my beaks 3D by cutting them along a fold, but you can use a flat triangle if you’re pressed for time and cut a whole bunch out at once.

The owl body is basically an oval, but cut the top in the middle to make two ear tufts like owls have.

Draw the shape of a tree branch onto brown paper and cut out (you can also have the kids draw their own branches if you’re pressed for time).

Glue on the eyes and beak.
