How to Make a Letter O Craft
1. Print out the owl craft.
2. Color in the O, the horns, and the beak. Trace the letters for the word ‘owl.’
3. Encourage your little one to try cutting out some elements for this letter O craft. The outside of the O and the beak may be the easiest for them to cut. Use the dotted line as a guide for where to cut.
To cut out the inside of the O, lightly fold the O in half and make a small cut on the fold (on the dotted line). Unfold the O, stick your scissors into the hole, and cut around the inside of the O.
4. Trim off the extra paper around the word ‘owl.’
5. Take the blank paper and have it turned so the long sides are going up and down.
6. Have your preschooler find the word ‘owl’ and glue it to the very bottom of the paper.
7. Your little one should find the letter O and place it in the middle of the page. Make sure the wave-looking things (feathers) are on the bottom. Glue down the O.
8. Grab both of the tufts (head feathers). The curved part gets tucked behind the top of the letter O. One tuft should be on the top left of the letter O. The other one should be on the top right of the letter O. Glue them in place.
9. Glue both eyes on the top part of the letter O.
10. Add the triangle beak to the bottom side of the top of the letter O.
