Scarecrow Crafts
This time of year Autumn is in the air. A crisp chill at night and the smell of leaves might have you thinking about Autumn decorations. Maybe even decorating with Scarecrow crafts.
In our first scarecrow craft, we are engineering our own two and a half foot tall scarecrow. For the littlest artist, I will pre-cut and punch the pieces and let them assemble them. I let the children decide where each piece goes and it is a lot of fun. For older children I allow them to cut out and assemble on their own. Click the image below to print and make your own.

Sometimes it is cute to make a crow to fly around our scarecrows. We have designed this crow to make some smiles. Click the image below to add the crow to your Autumn decorations.

In our next craft, we have little artists refine small motor skills by using safety scissors to cut raffia. They can then glue the strands and bits to give the scarecrow its hair. Click the image below to style your own scarecrow.

In today’s final craft we are using our engineering skills once again. This time we are making our own scarecrow bags. Last year I made these for an Autumn party and they were a huge hit. When I have a small artist I will pre-assemble the bag and have them glue on the straw and clothespins. For the next age up, I might pre-cut and fold the bag but not glue it. Then have the children assemble and glue the bag together. However, you choose to make these it will be perfect. Click the image below to find out more.

Maybe you and your little artist would like to make a real scarecrow? One year we had parents donate toddler sized clothes and stuffed them with real straw. The kids had so much fun. Maybe you do not live in an area with straw? Do you believe Amazon will deliver it? Click the image below to have it shipped right to your door.
We hope you had fun with our scarecrow crafts today. Maybe you made one or two? I know whatever your little artists dose you are sure to say, ‘You’re so creative!’
