Owl Finger Puppets and Counting Rhyme for Kids

Rhymes for kids help children learn to speak and read, so I was very excited when I saw Katie's post about owl finger puppets at Playing With Words 365!  She inspired me to make several sets of owls and start singing some rhymes!

You can make owl finger puppets a million different ways.  I used Katie's basic tutorial design and sewed most of the pieces together.  I love how each owl seems so full of personality!

Here are two of the owl rhymes I made up for us:

Owl Counting Rhymes for Kids:

Five Little Owls  (to the tune of Five Little Ducks)

by Carla at Preschool Powol Packets

Five little owls went out to fly

Over the trees, up very high!

When the mother owl sang, "To-whit-to-hoo!"

One little owl went down and flew!

(Repeat for four, three, and two little owls.)

One little owl went out to fly

Over the trees, up very high!

When the mother owl sang, "To-whit-to-hoo!"

Down she went and home she flew!

(Have all the owls happy to be home together!)

Time to Eat (to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb)

by Carla at Preschool Powol Packets

Owl said, "It's time to eat, time to eat, time to eat!"

Owl said, "It's time to eat!

What do I eat tonight?"

Owl ate a mouse that night, mouse that night, mouse that night!

Owl ate a mouse that night

And said, "It tastes just right!"

Owl ate 2 mice that night, mice that night, mice that night!

Owl ate 2 mice that night 

And said, "It tastes just right!"

(repeat for 3 and 4 mice)

Owl ate 5 mice that night, mice that night, mice that night!

Owl ate 5 mice that night

And said, "I'm very full tonight!"

Happy Educating, Carla
