K/1s Make Paper Mache Owls

After a rather extensive two-dimensional owl exploration, the K/1s are building small paper mache owls. Beginning with a cardboard tube, they added newspaper layers to plump out the body, then worked in wings and feet and will end with paint in owl colors and textures. Getting used to the paper mache glue was a new sensation for many of the students!

Covering the head

Some wing cutting advice

A solid coat of paint for a snowy owl

Focused on the right colors

With eyes and a beak

Complete!
