This project was a great rainy day activity. Our weather here in Pocatello turned cold and wet, so our trip to the zoo didn't happen. But that's okay, we stayed home and made these really FUN scarecrows
First we gathered these items:
cardstock, scissors
jumbo craft sticks
markers , glue
scraps of fabric (4x4),
raffia or yarn
On the cardstock draw pants, shirt and hat.Cut out. The kids then picked out which fabric pieces they wanted and glued them (right side up) to the card stock. They then cut the fabric following the edge of the paper templates. You can cut small patches out of fabric and glue to the scarecrows clothes Glue the jumbo craft stick to the middle of the pants and shirt. Glue the hat to the top of the stick, while leaving room for his face. With markers, draw on face.
Turn the scarecrow over (on the back) glue pieces of raffia or yarn to the lower edge of his hat, sleeve and pant edges as well.
The kids loved showing off their scarecrow creations!!
