What better way to celebrate the fall season than with a scarecrow paper craft for kids? It’s an adorable DIY fall craft idea for making at home with your little ones. Or to create and display in the classroom.
It comes with a scarecrow template printable and this is super convenient if you are a teacher and plan to use the craft with your students. You just have to print the template on colored paper. The students will cut out the patterns and glue them together.
Paper is the main craft supply you will need to make the scarecrow. And if you want to keep it cheap, instead of using googly eyes, kids can color the scarecrows’ eyes with a black marker.
Because this paper scarecrow craft is so easy, you can use it with kids as young as preschoolers and kindergartners. They will practice their scissors cutting skills.
Pair the paper scarecrow with a fun fall book, that have a scarecrow as the main character.
