2. Fine feathers should not be specially prepared. Large feathers must be cleaned of cuttings and cut into smaller parts.
3. Cardboard can be prepared independently or together with the child.

When everything is ready, the "Owl" paper application can be performed.

Step-by-step instruction for preparing parts

1. From gray paper you need to cut out the body of an owl and head. For this, a template is drawn on the paper, then both circles are cut out according to the resulting contour.
2. White fibers are similarly cut out of the whites of the eyes. White circles should be two.
3. From the black - the pupils. There should be two small black circles.
4. Of the yellow paper, two triangles are cut according to the pattern. Then they fold in half and a small incision is made at the base. In the color side, the base is bent to the length of the cut.
5. Also, from the yellow paper, six small squares are cut out.
6. A branch is cut from the brown. Application "Owl" - spring crafts, you need to make the leaves.
7. Cut them out of green paper. The number of leaves can be anything.

6. The beak of an owl is glued in a special way. A thin layer of glue is applied to the bent edges. Then the triangle slightly folds over the fold, and in this position the bent base is glued upwards. Then the same is done with the second triangle, only it is glued to the top and folded down. Should be a small pyramid, which will be issued from a common flat picture.
