I found these adorable owls on Pinterest (and also these and these) and thought the girls would get a kick out making something similar. The original project used scrapbooking supplies and tools to create the owls. I may be a crafter, but a scrapbooker I am not. So I didn't have any of these on hand except for the circle punches. Instead, we raided our recycled materials bin for toilet paper tubes. And I raided the local hardware store's paint chip display and we went to work!
Here are the parts you'll need to create your owl:
We punched the paint chip samples with a smaller circle punch.
Then first painted the cardboard tube with white tempera paint.
Then, they covered it with a paint color of their choice (We used our Biocolor paint).
Here are the girls' pieces all set to go:
They used glue dots to adhere their pieces to the cardboard tube.
Last we added the eyes:
And here they have their super adorable paper tube owls:
They played with them like finger puppets. And used their yarn bird nests too.
