Crochet 2 more sc to even out the edge. Put a little stuffing inside, then place the Kinder egg container filled with beads, add more stuffing. Fold the edges together and seam them with sc. Do not forget to add more stuffing before closing.

Eyes (make 2)

With white yarn:

Row 1: 6 sc in MR (6)
Row 2: 6 inc (12)
Row 3: (sc, inc) x 6 (18)
Row 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6 (24)

Leave a tail for sewing. Sew the eyes to the body, glue on black half-beads (or sew on beads). With orange yarn, embroider the beak and outlines around the eyes.

Wings (make 2)

With orange yarn:

Row 1: 6 sc in MR (6)
Row 2: 6 inc (12)
Switch to blue yarn
Row 3: (sc, inc) x 6 (18)
Switch to yellow yarn
Row 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6 (24)
Switch to white yarn
Row 5: (3 sc, inc) x 6 (30)

Switch to green yarn, fold the wing in half, and seam it with sc. Leave a tail for sewing and sew the wings to the body.

Tail

With orange yarn, make a chain of 6 ch + 3 turning chains:

Row 1: starting in the 4th ch from hook, make 3 dc, hdc, 2 sc, ch, turn (6)
Row 2: 2 sc, hdc, 3 dc, 3 ch, turn (6)
Row 3: 3 dc, hdc, 2 sc (6)

Sew on the tail.

Legs (make 2)

Make two chains of 21 ch, thread wooden beads onto them, and sew them to the owl's body.

Ears

Cut yarn in different colors into 6-7 cm pieces. Attach a bundle of colorful strands to the corners of the head the same way you would attach fringe to a scarf: insert the hook into the corner, make a loop with the strands, pull all the ends through the loop, and tighten. Trim the excess length. Our bright and sunny little owl is ready. It rattles pleasantly, and its legs dangle in a fun way.
