About this printable

Night birds look tricky until you see they start as one big circle. This how to draw an owl for kids page keeps the bird friendly with tufts, wing ovals, and huge eye rings, never sharp talons. Sit by a window or a lamp and copy the first panel slowly. The branch under the feet is a single curved line, easy to fix if it wobbles. Children who mix up left and right can match the two eye circles like matching buttons. Classroom teachers can project the sheet and draw along. After step four, color the belly lighter than the wings. Talk about how real owls blink. Keep the page with other forest animals for a small nature drawing set at home this month.
