Owls at Night on Recycled Dictionary Pages

HOOT!  HOOT!  HOOT! 

These awesome owls were created by our 4th graders. 

-The students started by using recycled dictionary pages from old children's dictionaries. 

 -Using watered down Elmer's glue and brushes, the students created a collage with the torn book pages. 

- Next the students painted some sort of perch (branch, rock, fence, etc) for the owl to set on, on top of the book pages. 

-The sky was colored with the edge of a pealed crayon so that the pattern of the words would show some. 

-The owls were drawn and painted on a separate piece of paper. 

- For the final step, the students cut out the owls and then I hot glued a packing peanut in between the owl and the background so that the owls were three-dimensional. 

I hope you enjoy our recycled creations!
