The Snowy Owl, also known as the Arctic Owl or White Owl, nests on Arctic tundra habitats throughout its northern circumpolar breeding range—often adjacent to coastal Arctic seas.

This is one of the largest owls in the world, and has the most northerly breeding and wintering distribution of any owl species.

Plumage is unmistakable in this species. Adult males are almost pure white, and adult females are white with brown barring.

As part of our snowy owl component, we created both these creatures and their nests.

The materials used by your little ones include feathers, clay, googly eyes, and sticks!

In addition to learning about the snowy owl, students accessed several areas of development, including lateralization, sensory registration and divergent thinking.
