Read: Little Lost Owl by Chris Haughton and Wow! Said the Owl by Tim Hopgood.
Story extender/ Story board: Using Wow! Said the Owl display color-appropriate story-pieces as the story progress. Give children the chance to "shout" the color that coordinates with the text.
Craft: Owls
- Need: Construction paper owl-parts cut from various colors. Glue sticks.
- Prior to storytime, have your wonderful assistant cut many many many owl-parts shapes out of paper (thanks, Susan!). For example, we had blue circles, purple half-circles, yellow rectangles, "sunny-side-up" eggs shapes, and orange and pink triangles. (see finished product below)
- Children will then paste together their an owl using all the colored owl-parts.
- As we constructed our owls, I prompted the children to find their blue circles and glue them to their owl body, find the pink triangles and glue and etc.

Oh, my friend Shelley is going to LOVE this craft. She is a super-big fan of owls, as is my cousin Michelle. I bought them both the above book Little Lost Owl, because it is my FAV! book of the season. Love the illustrations and the simple story. When reading aloud you can totally expand on the story and interact with the children. And, it gives you a great chance to use your story-voices.
