When I went for a walk the other day, I found a nice pinecone in the park. I picked it up and started looking at it. Hmmm… Does it look like an owl? Maybe? Then I started wondering if I could make an owl with a pinecone! What do you think? Do you think we can make an owl with a pinecone? Let’s see how it goes….!!
You will need a pinecone, two googly eyes, some cotton balls, a pair of scissors, glue and some construction paper(yellow and brown)
First, cut out a triangle for the beak and circles as the background for the googly eyes using the yellow construction paper. Then cut out the wings into ovals using the brown construction paper. See the pictures below. Tear pieces of cotton from a cotton ball and stuff between the layers of the pinecone. At last, glue the eyes, beak and the wings onto a pinecone and let them dry.
What does your pinecone owl look like? Please send me a picture so we can share it with our friends:)
