This was the first time I did the Wise Old Owl Project. It goes with a anonymous poem:
The wise old owl lived in the oak.
The more he saw
the less he spoke.
The less he spoke
the more he heard.
Why can't we be like that wise old bird?
Supplies: Pretty Paper
Stamper made to look like a tree with branch (Cardboard)
White and Green Paper
Glue
Black Foam Core
I think the picture gives a very clear description of each step. The children would first stamp the tree on the black foam material and place the moon in the opposite corner as well as glue the leaves. Then the body of the owl would be placed on the extended branch. Next comes the two eyes, one beak and two wings.
With this project you guide the child with the placement of the glue. You place the glue in the area the object should go and direct him/her to put the shape on the glue. You will learn that even with such close direction children always manage to make their work different.
Directing with the glue also helps the vocabulary. "Put" and "on top" are used often so they are introduced to listening and understanding basic instructions.
