Owl Decorations

I was away for the weekend in the mountains and now I am back and ready to get busy. On Tuesday, I met with the new Kindergarten teacher and it seems like she will be a great addition to our team! While I was at school I got busy with some things in the classroom. I forgot to take pictures though so I will post more later.

At home, I have been working on some owl decorations. I made these cute lanterns to hang from the ceiling. I saw it on pintrest (Dollarstorecrafts.com  )so I can't take credit for the idea. I bought the paper lantern from the dollar tree. I painted them to the colors I wanted. I used scrapbook paper for the wings, ears and feet. I then cut tissue paper to layer for the tummy. I think they turned out pretty cute! (Although part of me thinks they look a little bit like chicks, lol)

I also wanted to dress up my Box Tops for education container. Again, thanks to pintrest (learninginwonderland.com) and the other bloggers out there I found a great idea. I printed and owl off from the internet and then taped her to the container. I used decorative packing tape to add the polka dot boarder. I then (feeling a little guilty) used some box tops to decorate the container. I think it will add a nice touch to my owl theme and hopefully encourage the kids to send in their box tops!
