Owl Sites for Kids

 

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

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

Prefer a "scratch-made" recipe? This one gets great reviews.

Playmobil

Fire your cannon at pirate ships, but watch out for the sea monster! Try your hand at plumbing by placing pieces of pipe in the right order. Try to avoid a flood, but you may have to try over and over to get it right! My favorite was "Container Chaos," where your job as harbormaster is to make sure brightly-colored cargo containers get to the right ship or train. Click on the arrow switches to direct containers along the tracks.
