Paper Owl Craft Idea you will love!
We love Owls. In fact, when my daughter was younger we had the book Owl babies which I really love and a hardback book where the owl was soft and furry to touch. my daughter loved both her owl books and as a preschooler, she brought home a clay owl that she made. It was so cute. I still have it six years later.
