We are absolutely fascinated by owls! They are nocturnal, silent flying birds and we can’t help but want to find out more about them.

Whether you are exploring owls during the fall and winter or incorporating their life cycle into your spring science lessons, these beautiful creatures can be studied any time of year.

We make adorable crafts with our Snowy Owl Paintings and our little ones take pride when they take these masterpieces home to share with family. We get our creative juices flowing with our Owl Bookmarks. We even make fun O is for Owls crafts bringing literacy and crafts together.

(We have weekly Animal Alphabet Crafts that can be used to go with many different science and literacy lessons.)

So we can learn more about these majestic creatures, I’ve created Owls: An Animal Study. Our students can learn and research about our feathered friends in a scientific and hands-on way!
