We love simple and recycled crafts here on Kids Craft Room and this Cardboard Tube Owl Craft is super easy and adorably cute. With their heart shaped bellies these paper tube owls make great little gifts for friends and family too. Why not use them as an Owl Mother’s Day gift or Owl Valentine?
This paper roll owl craft comes with a free printable template for the wings, heart and face if you want it but it is easy enough to make it free hand if you prefer.
If you are a total owl fan like us then you’ll want to team this TP Roll Owl craft up with some other hooting friends! Take a peek at our favourite owl craft ideas: Burlap Owls, Paper Plate Flying Owls and Yarn Wrapped Paper Cup Owls.
If your kids want to know more about owls then you might like to show them the kids section on The Barn Owl Trust’s website. It has lots of great information and owl activities for kids of all ages.
