All about Owls

I enjoy watching children creatively express themselves through art representations of what we've talked about at preschool. I was very impressed with how well the paintings/drawings of the Owls turned out. Each child is creative in their own way. We talked about specific features owls have and as the children painted or drew, they included these in their creations. Very cool. (These pictures are displayed at the preschool!)

First children painted the branches and leaves and then they had the option to paint their hand brown for the owl body, but most chose to paint the owl using the brush instead of getting their hand messy. The owls turned out very cute either way!
