Owl Valentine Card Directions
Making an Owl Valentine has never been easier! Follow along with the directions and video below:
1. Print the owl template on white cardstock. There are several options for kids, including closed and open eyes. Some kids may choose to make a winking owl!
Our template even includes a blank pattern, so kids can write their own personalized message.
2. Invite your child to paint or color the owl pattern. We enjoyed using various shades of green, blue, pink, and purple.
Tip: No paint? As a low-mess cut and glue alternative, invite kids to trace the owl pattern onto colored card stock or construction paper.
3. When the paint is dry, invite your child to cut out the shapes with scissors.
4. Next, kids can decorate their owls with painted hearts, eyes, beak, and wings. If desired, kids can opt to use plastic wiggle eyes instead of the shapes from the template.
5. Last, glue the greeting card portion of the owl craft to the back of the decorated part. When the glue dries, the card will open and close!
Kids can sign their names and write a personalized message inside.
