Here's an easy and useful craft idea-a handmade owl that will keep the bird from crashing into the windows and scaring dad when he's hard at work at the office or relaxing at home.

The materials list:

• some sort of base for the owl's face (we used two different colors of construction paper glued to a hunk of cereal box to give it strength, but you could use card stock, poster board, foam paper, or even a painted piece of cardboard)
• two unwanted CD's
• two wiggle eyes
• a piece of string
• glue
• scissors
• embellishments (feathers, yarn, pipe cleaners, more paper, etc) if desired
