Most kids think owls are awesome – and they are right! Truly, is there any bird as cool as the owl? These birds are so spooky and mysterious, the way they fly silently around hunting in the dark. Then they snatch their prey up in those giant talons. Not only that, they can turn their heads almost completely around!

They make wonderful hallway displays, as well. And if you combine them with some of my other puzzles (like leaves or pumpkins), you can get really artistic! Your students will be proud to see their hard work on the walls, and the principal can’t complain because of all the academic work that went into creating them.
