Patriotic Owl in a Star-Banded Top Hat With Flag

A round, cartoon-style owl stands facing forward with big circle eyes, a small pointed beak, and tufted feathers on each side of its head. On top sits a tall striped top hat with a band of five-pointed stars around the brim. One wing is raised to hold a small American flag on a thin pole, showing a block of stars in the corner and horizontal stripes across the rest. The owl's belly has a few scalloped feather lines, and two little feet with toes peek out at the bottom. The big open areas are easy for small hands to fill in. Try red and blue stripes on the hat and flag, then use the star band to practice counting stars or to talk about what the flag colors stand for. This printable page works well for a classroom or a quiet afternoon at home.
