Using different textures provides an ideal opportunity for fine motor and sensory stimulation, so this activity also provides ample learning opportunities. Some good summer fun!

Steps:

  1. Print the picture of the owl on the blue cardstock.
  2. Start with linseeds on the owl's face and body. Spread glue over a small part of the face. While the glue is still wet, sprinkle linseeds over the wet glue and shake off any excess linseeds. Continue until the owl's face and body has been covered with linseeds.

  8. Cover the owl's beak with lentils.
  9. Neatly cover the leaf with split peas.
  10. Spread glue over the twig and cover it with poppy seeds. Leave the artwork flat on the table for a few minutes before shaking off any excess poppy seeds, so that you do not end up with poppy seeds on other areas where the glue might still be wet.
