Net-mom Approved Web Links for Kids
Great Websites for Families
Here at Fudd Hollow Farm we are huge fans of Molly the owl and her webcam! She even has her own blog!
So we thought we'd do our part and find some Net-mom-approved sites for her fans. Hope you enjoy the facts, fun, crafts, and even owl cookie recipes we've found!
Owl Crafts
Make Your Own Barn Owl Finger Puppet
Other parts of the site offer beautiful coloring pages, a print and make a barn owl mobile, a word search, and even a recipe for barn owl "pellet" truffle treats! Since the site is from the UK Barn Owl Trust, note that "double cream" can be substituted by heavy cream, and you might try graham crackers for "digestive biscuits."
DTLK's Owl Crafts
Not all these are about Barn Owls, but whoo can resist them?
Enchanted Learning's Paper Plate Owl
You probably have the makings of your own pet Molly or McGee in your house right now!
San Diego Zoo Rock Owls
Does Molly rock? You bet. And if you have some artistic skills you can make a pet rock of your own, find out how!
Owl Coloring Pages
Online Barn Owl Coloring
No crayons needed! It's all online.
Flying Barn Owl to color
This has to be a drawing of McGee!
Owl Poems
The Reading Lady's Owl Poems
I especially like the last one.
Recipes
Night Owl Cookies
Uses refrigerated roll sugar cookie dough, M&Ms, and cashews for beaks; these are too cute!
Hoot Owl Cookies
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Hoot-Owl-Cookies/Detail.aspx
Prefer a "scratch-made" recipe? This one gets great reviews.
Facts
BioKids on Barn Owls
Just the facts on Barn Owl habitat, diet, predators, lifespan, reproduction, and more. Everything you need for your Barn Owl report!
Click and drag the pellet to expose the bones of a mouse, and then try and put the mouse skeleton back together. No muss, no fuss!
Building Barn Owl Boxes pdf
Download this terrific color booklet with plans and advice about building your own Barn Owl Box.
Kids love this here at Fudd Hollow Farm. It's just raw oatmeal, colored sugar crystals, and some imagination! If you don't have an empty jar to layer the ingedients like sand art, just use a plastic snack bag.
