OWLS!
I have seen a few variations of this project and wanted to try it out with my kids. I am always looking for new, creative projects involving toilet paper rolls because they are EVERYWHERE and they seem to have a million applications. I helped create the shape of the owl by bending the center of the TP rolls in to form the classic owl "ears", and I also cut out feet and a tail (older kids can do this step themselves with teacher help). We used brown and white tempera paint and some natural feathers to decorate our owls.
They're a little creepy without eyes...
...Once students were finished painting their owls I helped them attach eyes and a beak.
...I included the owls in the city we just created, either flying in the sky...
...or perched on top of buildings...
This was a great project idea, I'm glad I got a chance to give it a shot. Check out these websites for great examples of this project: http://naturalkidsteam.com/wordpress/2010/11/kid-craft-owls/
