Scarecrow Craft

C has been sick and did not feel up to making this scarecrow, but R and I had fun with this craft. I cut a paper doll type shape out of a brown paper bag and then traced around it on white paper to make clothes. R glued the outfit on the body and colored it purple. Don't all scarecrows wear purple?


She drew facial features and added a pink flower button to the fashionable outfit! Then she cut brown craft ribbon into small pieces and glued them under the pant legs, sleeves, and on the head.

We added a very trendy hat, and here is R's fashionable scarecrow:

We plan on making scarecrow cookies and we have a pile of scarecrow books to tell you about, so stay tuned!
