Shapes Owl Craft -
Shapes, Scissor Skills, Colors, and Counting Practice
This craft can be used to teach a variety of skills. You don't
have to use all the thoughts for lessons... just choose the ones you're
working on with your child.
Materials you'll need: scissors, glue, printer, paper |
|
Thoughts for Lessons:
SCISSOR SKILLS:
 | This craft has lots of nice large shapes to cut out -- good scissor
practice! |
| You can precut the template into separate pieces (roughly) to make
it a bit easier for beginning crafters to cut out the circles. |
SHAPES:
| have the children make a pile of all the circles, a pile of all the
ovals and a pile of all the triangles. |
COLORS:
| verbally instruct the children on how to assemble the shapes using
the colors of the shapes. (ie: Take the orange circle and glue it
on the brown oval.). |
SIZES:
| show the children two circles and ask -- is this one bigger, smaller
or the same size as that one. |
COUNTING:
| Count the circles/triangles/ovals
|
|
Directions:
| Print out the template of choice.
|
| Color the template pieces (if using the B&W version)
|
| Cut out the template pieces (young children may need help with this step)
|
| Glue the owl together:
 | Glue small oval onto the larger oval so the bottoms line up |
| Glue the large triangle onto the large oval so the tops line up |
| Glue the small triangle (beak) and eyes onto the owl |
| Glue the centers of the eyes on |
| Glue the two medium sized circles onto the bottom as feet |
|
| Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
|
| Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one
page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers). |
