We have made plenty of owl crafts in the past, many of which you can find in our Bugs & Birds craft section. Lorelai asked for me to make her a long eared-owl printable for her after reading about them in one of her animal encyclopedias. Long-eared owls are so unique in that they have […]
Pigeon Printable Craft
Here is a pigeon craft we made recently. I never really saw a pigeon up close before, so I was surprised at how colorful their heads and chest are. So neat! Grab the printable below, and if you are looking for more fun bird crafts, click here. Open & Print: Pigeon Craft Instructions | Terms […]
Crow Printable Craft
Crows are fascinating birds. Did you know that they can recognize faces and hold grudges? It’s true! They will also sometimes bring gifts (buttons, shiny bits) to people who feed them regularly. We recently saw one so I decided to make a printable craft. It’s a pretty standard bird shape. It would work well as […]
Giant Moa Printable Craft
The giant moa is an extinct bird, also known as the dinornis. They were huge beasts that grew up to almost 12 feet! They couldn’t fly, but instead walked on 2 strong legs. Learn more about the giant moa here. Print a copy of our free craft template below! Open & Print: Giant Moa/Dinornis Craft […]
Printable Stork Craft
I couldn’t believe we hadn’t made a stork craft yet, after all these years! Lorelai requested one recently after seeing the cute new movie, Storks. I designed up this template and she painted it right away. Storks really are interested birds. Be sure to check the fact list I posted below! Enjoy! Open & Print: […]
Handprint Flamingo Craft
Flamingos are such beautiful birds, with their pink feathers and long necks. The last flamingo craft we made was this printable one four years ago! We revisted the animal recently with my eighteen month-old. She is taking after her sister and loving doing “crafffs”. =) Handprint crafts are the best thing at this age. Messy […]
Printable Owl Craft
Hoo! Hoo! My year and a half year-old, Madeline, is obsessed with animal sounds. The owl is her current favorite. So, when her big sister painted her this adorable owl craft, she was thrilled! We absolutely love making owl crafts, and have already made a ton. You can find all of our owl crafts in […]
Golden Eagle Printable Craft
Good morning! I’m writing this from my parents’ kitchen on the east coast. I had originally planned on posting this one once we got back home, but we had to delay our return. I was hospitalized for a few days due to an infection. I’m healed and all better now, thankfully! So this is a […]
Handprint & Footprint Hummingbird Craft
Handprint & Footprint crafts are always a big hit around here, and this one was no exception. It’s been a while since we’ve done a footprint craft and it was hilarious to all involved to see how big our 8-year-old’s foot has gotten. It takes up the majority of a sheet of paper now! =) […]
Quail Printable Craft
Q is for… quail! A big thank you to the reader that requested this AGES ago. We are just now getting around to it, but better late than never! I love getting suggestions from you. When I’m drawing blanks on what to design, I will dig through the suggestions for ideas. So be sure to […]
Printable Wise Owl Craft
It’s not uncommon for me to “sit” on a craft for almost a year. It has actually happened quite often! This Wise Owl craft is another good example. Lorelai crafted this one almost a year ago. I blame it on pregnancy lost-mindedness. It’s an actual thing, I promise. Anyway, we revisited this craft again last […]
Rhinoceros Hornbill Printable Craft
When we spottted this bird on a recent trip to the zoo, Lorelai (my soon-to-be 8 year-old) and I immediately wrote it down on our craft list. This is such a neat bird and is very big! The craft looks almost exactly like the real thing — something Lore just commented on when I was […]
Raven Printable Craft
A raven craft was requested when we were doing our desert animal crafts. Lorelai loves ravens — mainly because she was born in Baltimore, MD, home to Ravens football team. She crafted her raven with blank paint, then cosmic paint on top of that. Print a copy of our raven template below! Open & Print […]
Red-Billed Hornbill Printable Craft
Remember Zazu, the feisty bird from the movie The Lion King? Well, he’s a Red-Billed Hornbill, the same type of bird I’m featuring as a craft today! When coming up with a list of African Savannah animals, we chose to include this one for some variation. We have lots of mammals and needed a bird […]
Kingfisher Printable Craft
Kingfisher birds are found all over the world, and the species we did is brightly colored and beautiful! My 7 year-old decided to try out her new neon paints for this craft and they worked perfectly in capturing the brightness of the kingfisher. Grab your copy of the printable below and enjoy! You can also […]
Button Owl Craft
We have quite the collection of craft supplies after years of making fun crafts. I’ve been cleaning out our stash and recently came across these jumbo buttons. Last week we made some Clothespin Button Spiders, and today we made some mini Owls! We are still huge fans of owls here, so this was the perfect […]
Bird House Printable Craft
Every summer, my daughter and I travel to the east coast to visit my hometown & family. We got here a week ago and it has been nonstop fun since. My mom is a huge fan of birdhouses, so I designed one that my daughter could paint and cut out by herself. This one is […]
Printable Whooping Crane Craft
After YEARS of being on my very long list of crafts to make, I finally got around to designing a Whooping Crane craft! This craft would go great with Bill Martin Jr. & Eric Carle’s Book Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See? That was one of Lorelai’s absolute favorite books when she was […]
Printable Blue Macaw Craft
Have you seen the movie Rio? It’s a favorite around here, among many others. Lorelai and I were so excited to hear about the sequel coming out this week! I decided to design a blue (hyacinth) macaw craft for Lorelai to make and she was soooo glad I did! It’s not exactly like Blu from […]
Printable Bird’s Nest Crafts
Spring is in the air – for some of us! Luckily the warmer temperatures have reached Texas and we have been enjoying the gorgeous weather. My parents on the east coast (USA) got to see more snow yesterday. My condolences to those who are having an extra-long winter! Today I’m posting about these springy crafts […]
