I'm so excited to be linking up with Life Over C's for a fun post series on Learning with Your Craft Stash! Today, we are discussing cupcake liners, and I have a cute craft to go along with one of my favorite children's books, Owl Moon! Keep scrolling after the photos and directions for more coordinating learning activities!
Follow the picture above to fold your cupcake liner and form the owl's body. Then, trace around a bottle cap and cut out two white circles for eyes. (Get those fine motor skills working!) Add a snip of orange paper for a beak. If you wish, you can use a piece of chalk to decorate your background paper with "stars."
You can sneak in some math skills with this craft, too! If you create multiple owls, practice skip counting their eyes by twos, and practice addition skills while adding "stars."
Make sure you check out some of these links for more ideas for your study of owls and Owl Moon:
Can you believe that summer is already winding down? It's nearly time to go back to school for most of the United States, and - in some areas - school has already begun! Where did time go?!
Whether you are settling into your school year routine, prepping to begin again in the coming weeks, or squeezing as much fun as you can out of the last few weeks of summer, I have great news! We (the teacher-authors and sellers of TpT) have a special gift for you... Our Back-to-School eBooks! Hooray!
These books are absolutely packed with tips and tricks to add to your teaching toolbox, and lots of little freebies to download and keep handy to spice up your lessons. Check them out below! (You can find my page and paragraph writing freebie in the Grade 3-5 English Language Arts eBook.)
