Free Owl Printables and Montessori-Inspired Owl Activities

October 15, 2014 By Deb Chitwood

Owls are a very versatile theme. Online, I found owl activities for an owl classroom theme, fall owls, Owl Moon winter owl activities, valentine owls, Earth Day (“Give a Hoot! Don’t Pollute!”) owls, and owls used in the study of birds. So I’m sharing lots of free printables and hands-on activities for an owl theme today!

Free Printables Featured in the Pictured Owl Activities at PreK + K Sharing

"5 Little Owls" Activities

“5 Little Owls” Activities

I LOVE doing songs and fingerplays with preschoolers! I have a fun series at Living Montessori Now with free songs and rhymes for circle time. Right now, “Free Educational Songs for Circle Time,” “Free Fall Songs and Rhymes for Circle Time,” and “Free Halloween Songs and Rhymes for Circle Time” are especially popular. 

The printables I used for this tray are no longer available. You might like the 5 Little Owls Subtraction Rhyming Tab Book by Judi Haskins from Teachers Pay Teachers and/or the 5 Little Owls Pocket Chart Activity by Judy Tedards at Teachers Pay Teachers. During the winter, you could use the “5 Little Owls” tree and owls from Homeschool Share. 

I simply printed out, cut apart, and laminated the pieces. If you’re wondering, this is my favorite laminator. I put the puzzle pieces in a pencil box and placed everything on a Multicraft wooden tray. 

"My Owl Numbers Book" Tray

“My Owl Numbers Book” Tray

For this activity, I used My Owl Numbers Book by Amy from Wildflower Ramblings at Hip Homeschool Moms. Creating the owl numbers book is a fun way for children to work on cutting and stapling skills along with math skills. Some children will be able to use the booklet as reading practice, too. 

Owl Paper Cutting Tray

Owl Paper Cutting Tray

This tray uses the Owl Give You Four Free Bookmarks printable by Dressed in Sheets by Soumara at Teachers Pay Teachers. For simpler cutting activities, you could add the cutting page from the Owl Tot Pack from Our Little Monkeys. The Owl Tot Pack includes “finish the pattern” strips that could also be used as cutting strips where children cut between the owls. 

I think this activity is TOO CUTE (and creative)! I love the Silly Shaped Owls from Teach With Me. I traced the shapes onto one color of craft foam. I only used one color because of the Montessori principle of isolation of quality. 

Owl Shape Matching Layout

Owl Shape Matching Layout

Here, the owls and shapes are a matching activity. I used a Montessori Services rug for my layout. In addition to matching shapes, children could trace the foam shapes. You could also have construction paper available for children to create their own shape owls. 

Owl Letter Tumble Tray

Owl Letter Tumble Tray

This activity uses the Owl Letter Tumble printables from PreKinders. The child simply tumbles the letter owls onto the black felt (or other black cloth used as the night sky) and then matches the letter owls to the letters on the letter chart. Younger children can use this as a matching activity while older children can use this to review phonetic sounds or alphabetical order.

For this addition activity, I used Owl Number Matching Cards from KidSparkz and Maths Symbols Cards from Activity Village. The felt owls are Creatology felt stickers from Michaels craft store. 

Owl Addition Layout

Owl Addition Layout

I used only 10 felt owls and owl number cards 1-10. For each equation, the child could choose how many owls to use for each addend and them count them to find the sum. 

Finish Drawing the Owl Activity

Finish Drawing the Owl Activity

This is a more challenging activity using the Complete the Drawing Owl printable from Making Learning Fun. It’s nice to have some special drawing materials such as the Faber-Castell graphite sketch set, which is what I have in the pencil box on the tray.

    Thank you for these. Saved them ready to print. Some of my little ones seem to be loving owls at the moment so will have to fit in some owl themed activities after Halloween and before Christmas.
