About This Project

A 30–45 minutes craft for ages 3–10, using supplies you likely already have — Sharpie Markers, Pom Poms, and Scissors.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    Make Snowy Owl Craft

    A photo showing how to complete this step

    Paint the Owl

    1. Ask an adult to help you draw the head and body of the owl on the black paper with a pencil. Or, you can just paint the owl without drawing it first. 2. Pinch the medium pompom with the clothespin to make a paint brush. 3. Squeeze some white paint onto the paper plate. 4. Get some white paint on the pompom and dab it on the head and body of the owl. Do not fill the areas too much so that it looks like a fluffy baby owl. 5. Pinch the smaller pompom with the clothespin and squeeze a little gray paint onto the plate. 6. Add some gray details onto the owl, like dots on the body and some on the top of the head. 7. Let the paint dry.
