Have fun making this colourful felt owl craft today

This colourful felt owl is an excellent craft for younger children, using colourful material as the focal point!

Today’s craft is super easy and, best of all, incredibly thrifty to make! It’s suitable for kids of all ages and a great way to teach your little one about colours and shapes.

What you need

  • Colourful sheets of felt (any colours work but we used brown, black, orange, red, and yellow)
  • 1A4 White paper
  • Craft glue
  • Needle
  • Thread (black or brown)
  • Marker pen
  • Googly eyes (optional)
  • Glue gun (optional)

How to make it

  1. Download an owl body template from the Internet or use the template provided at the end of this post.
  2. Cut the template out and trace the pieces with a marker onto different colours of felt.
  3. Cut out the patterns.
  4. Stick all pieces together using fabric or craft glue.
  5. Optional: If you’re feeling extra creative, help your child stich around the owl’s eye with black or brown thread.
  6. Optional: Instead of using black felt for the eyes, glue on googly eyes (a glue gun works best for this)
  7. Allow your child’s owl to dry before letting them playing with it.
