Autumn Lantern - the Owl
Prepare to light up your evenings with this beautiful lantern that celebrates autumn! By repurposing a translucent cup, natural-toned stickers, and a small straw nest, children create a magical decoration. Just hide a small LED light under the cup to transform it into a source of soft, warm light.
The highlight? The adorable little owl that perches on top of the nest to watch over the creation!
Why we love this activity?
-
The contrast between the light, the transparency of the cup, and the raw look of the kraft paper stickers offers an elegant result.
-
A stylish and reusable decoration: thanks to the LED candle, the lantern can shine throughout autumn without any danger.
