Autumn is the season birds get busy — owls hoot earlier and robins gather twigs for the nest. This set catches three of them: a paper plate owl with layered feathers, an owl silhouette on a leafy branch, and a robin nest with eggs. Every template prints on one page, so the whole flock is ready in one download. Print the pack, cut the feathers, and let the birds move in for the winter.

Ages 3–5. The paper plate owl and robin nest are glue-and-stick, ideal for 3–4s; the owl silhouette is a colour-and-cut for 4s. Counting the robin’s three eggs is built into the nest sheet — use it as a counting game for 3s.

Paper Plate Owl

Turn a paper plate into a wide-eyed owl with layered paper feathers. Colour the template, cut along the dashed lines, and glue the pieces onto the plate — a glue-and-stick favourite for 3–4s.

Autumn Owl Silhouette

A sleepy owl perched on a leafy branch, ready to colour and cut out. A colour-and-cut for 4s — trim the branch, then stick the owl up on a window or wall.

Robin Nest Craft

Build a twiggy nest and tuck three eggs inside — then count them. A glue-and-stick craft for 3–4s, with the robin’s three eggs doubling as a counting game for 3s.

How to print (A4 and US Letter)

Print the PDF single-sided on A4 or US Letter, 100% scale. Colour first, then cut along the dashed lines, then assemble. A paper plate is the only extra supply, plus a glue stick and safety scissors. Each template is one page, so a classroom can print one craft per child or the whole pack per table.
