Paper Bag Owls

Now felt like a good time to revisit these owl projects 
using lunch bags or grocery bags as your canvas.

Many communities are setting out luminaries to honor healthcare professionals.


Graphic Owl Luminaria


Supplies:

Brown school lunch bag
Black Sharpie Marker
 Sharpie Markers in Assorted Colors

Kids can get creative with lines and shapes in
creating their graphic owl - here are just a few ideas
After black lines are drawn, color away!

Lunch Bag Owl 
Stuff these paper bag owls with old newspaper to create fun standing creatures

Supplies:

Black Sharpie Marker - Fine Tip, Chisel or King Size
Chalk Pastels
2 brown paper lunch bags
Scissors and glue
newspaper or tissue paper



After you have drawn all your Sharpie lines, add color to your owl using
the side of your chalk pastels with light pressure
Stuff bag with crumbled newspaper
Cut out wings and ear tufts from a separate bag and glue to your owl



Grocery Bag Owls

Barn Owl
Fun facts: Barn Owls have a distinctive heart shaped face,
 their flight is silent and they don't hoot, they shriek

Supplies:
Brown Grocery Bag, cut into a rectangle
Fine and Ultra Fine Tip Black Sharpie Markers
Chalk Pastels






For a simple, finished composition - on a piece of black construction paper,
create a full moon with chalk pastel and add some stars with a white Sharpie marker.
Just cut out and glue your owl to the backgroud.
(those veins though....lol!)


Great Horned Owl
The Great Horned Owl is named for the tufts of feathers (not ears) that sit on top of its head. The ears are actually openings in the sides of its skull, hidden by feathers, down on the sides of its head.

Create sketchy loose lines with Sharpies
Add a little more color with chalk pastels



Supplies:

Sharpie Markers in Black, Brown and White
Chalk Pastels
Create a backgroud of your choice
