What you need

A clean paper lunch bag without handles and large child-appropriate crayons.

Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.

Let's make it happen

  1. Lay the bag flat on a stable table and draw two large eyes and a beak on its outside.
  2. Add wings or other details with a crayon.
  3. Adult puts a hand inside the bag to move the owl while you tell a story together.

Adult checks the bag and stays beside the child; never put a bag over the head or face.
