2 Triangle Owl Handwriting Craft

Here is a paper craft for your children that provides an opportunity to practice essential handwriting fluency practice, early cutting skills and drawing.

Have your children draw line patterns from left to right across the page to support their emerging handwriting skills. You can model for them:

• a straight line
• a zig zag line
• a loopy line
• a jumping or hopping line
• a wave or dipping line

To make the owl, your children can:

• fill a page with pattern lines (or draw them on after the owl is made)
• snip two triangles from the sides
• glue the triangles on as ears
• draw a face

Once make the owls make a lovely classroom display or stimulus for writing. Students could:

• research and record some facts about an owl
• write a descriptive paragraph about an owl
• write a short poem about an owl
