So, obviously hat doesn't start with the letter O, but owl does, and I started thinking, instead of a hat how about a mask. And that is how the paper plate owl mask came about. It does require some adult help, but most kids could do the majority of it on their own.
Start by cutting two slits into the top of your paper plate about 1 1/2 inches long, then fold down the rectangular flap.
Trim off about an inch of the flap and glue the rest of it to the plate. You can have the kids color or paint the plate brown at this point or just leave it white.
Cut out two large yellow eyes, and one orange triangle for the nose. I discovered that my half cup measuring cup was the perfect size for the eyes. The nose I just did freehand.

Glue the eyes and nose to the plate and trace two smaller circles inside the eyes. Very carefully, use a sharp knife to poke a hole in the center of the eyes and then use scissors to cut out the smaller circles. (tip: use the thinnest paper plates you can find and construction paper instead of card stock)

I'm not really a do crafts with my kids kind of mom but Ava was just telling me last night "I wish I had a mask!" (followed by a sigh). We'll have to make one!
