This Flying Paper Plate Owl Craft is so fun! The owls’ wings are hinged so they can be moved up and down to make the owl fly. What a hoot!

This owl craft is super easy to make using just one paper plate and a few paper scraps. We made our owl craft using ready coloured paper plates so it was super quick but you can of course use plain plates and paint your owls any colours you like. 

We really love the textured wings and tummies. It gives a lovely 3D feather effect and is great scissor practise for little hands. 

This Flying Paper Plate Owl Craft is a lovely Fall craft for kids or a fun activity all year round for owl fans.
