Craft: Paper Plate Scarecrow
Our scarecrow was very similar to this one. The main difference is that is was made completely with paper. We used the small paper plates for the face and the mouth was drawn on. All the other pieces were cut out from cardstock for the kids to color and glue to the plate.
Literacy Extension:
- Have your children determine what could be used from around your house to make a scarecrow with (i.e. Shoo, Crow! Shoo!)
- Discuss situations with your child that makes them shy. Talk about ways that their confidence might be boosted during those situations. (i.e. The Shy Scarecrow)
