At Home Project:

Snowy Owl Bags Tips for Parents: Early literacy skills and fine motor skills go hand-in-hand, quite literally!

Help your child to write by giving them activities that use hand strength, precision, and cutting.

Craft paper owl bags at

home with just a few simple

supplies. Try stuffing the owls

with shredded news paper, or

treats to open up later.

Action Rhyme

There’s a wide-eyed owl (Make goggles with fingers)

With a pointed nose (point fingers together over

nose) Two pointy ears

(point fingers up over ears)

And claws for toes (curl fingers like claws)

He lives way up in a tree (point up)

And when he looks at

you (point at a friend)

He flaps his wings and

says (flap your wings)

“Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!” (hoot hoot hoot!)

Tips for Parents:

ECRR incorporates simple practices, based on research, to help parents and other

caregivers develop early literacy skills in children from birth to age five.
