Here is a sweet song about a favorite nocturnal animal. Watch the video below to see how used my puppet, or do as a fingerplay with the motions below. You can also have the kids make paper bag owl puppets. There are lots of great ideas on Pinterest (use arm as branch, raise thumb for owl) (circle eyes with fingers and look around) (fingers of other hand fly on tree) (wave hand away, fluttering fingers behind)
Lyrics
An owl sat alone on the branch of a tree
And she was as quiet as quiet could be
"Twas night and her eyes were wide open like this
She looked all around, not a thing did she miss
Some little birds perched on the branch of the tree
And they were as quiet as quiet could be
The solemn old owl said, "Whoo -whoo -whoo"
And up jumped the birds and away they all flew
