Hedwig Owl Craft for Kids
Supplies needed:
– white, yellow, and black craft paper
– Scissors
– Craft glue
– wood craft stick
– black marker
Directions:
1. Begin by cutting out a circle from your white craft paper. Fold the circle in half and glue closed.
2. Cut out the facial features of your Hedwig owl. This includes two half-moon yellow shapes as well as small black circles for the eyes, and a black diamond shape for the nose.
3. Start gluing the facial features in place. Add a small dab of glue to the back of each and layer them as shown to create the eyes and nose of your own.
4. Add some finishing accents by taking the black marker and creating small lines on the face of the owl to look like feathers.
5. Add a dab of glue to the end of your craft stick and place the owl face at the top. Hold in place until dry and secure.
Your Hedwig owl can now be used as a puppet or even a bookmark. When finished, you can look at the other Harry Potter-inspired activities below and enjoy the book even further and in greater detail.
Harry Potter Study Unit
1. Create a character description. Choose a favorite character and write a detailed description of them. If you wish, you can use the scenario where the character is lost. What would a missing person poster say about them? How do they look? How do they act? Where might they be hiding? Use info from the text to create the details as in-depth as possible.
2. Create a timeline of events. Taking a story of your choice, some poster board and markers, create a timeline of events. The timelines should include any important happenings from the text and go in the order they occurred. This can help children understand sequence as well as important events from the text.
3. Write a letter to J.K. Rowling. If you could interview her, what would you ask her? Use the letter to ask her 3-5 burning questions you have about the writing process or even the book. If you wish, send it to her! You never know, you might hear back.
