Or it could just be a pendant. And why would holes make it impractical to hang them? Run a string though the holes and tie a knot. That's kinda how we hang most stuff.
Also if there weren't more intricate depictions of owls at the time then why assume it was children making them? Most petroglyphs from this period weren't exactly what you'd call anatomically correct.
