Create a uniquely naturalist spooky display with bones from an owl pellet!

Owl pellets are a treasure trove. Filled with bones, fur, and feathers, they tell us what an owl has been eating. We will discuss the science behind owl pellets and we will use charts and guides to identify the bones we find within. After our forensic practice, we will clean the bones and prepare them for our bone box! Materials will include: owl pellets, small boxes, glue, paint, and your own sense of design. These mini shadow boxes are perfect for Halloween decorations or as art to be enjoyed all year. They definitely adorn some desks here at MNHC!

Enjoy a beer, fizzy water, or cocoa and spend a crafty afternoon with us!

Best for ages 12 and up.
