Stuffed Scarecrow Craft Idea For Kids
Today’s paper bag scarecrow craft tutorial is actually courtesy of my son’s preschool class.
They recently did a fall themed craft a few days ago in class and when my son finally got to bring his finished paper stuffed scarecrow piece home, I was inspired to recreate MY own version and I just HAD to share the idea on the Glued To My Crafts Blog with you all as well!
So my friends, whether you are looking for a creative kids craft idea to celebrate the beautiful autumn or just want to pass some time with your child on a gloomy day indoors, I sure hope you are inspired to make this simple but yet adorable paper bag scarecrow puppet with your little one today! You can find ALL the details in our full stuffed lunch sack craft tutorial below, as well as a FREE scarecrow hat printable as well!
Happy crafting my creative friends!!! If you don’t mind, I would LOVE to see pictures of your child’s finished scarecrow made from a paper bag, on our Facebook page! Come share with us! #gluedtomycrafts

- First things first – if you haven’t already, go ahead and print out the scarecrow hat printable that is listed above. You can print it on colored paper {like I did} or do white & have children color in their design however they like.
- Once you have the printable printed, trim out the hat design and discard excess paper.
- Next up – stuff your brown paper bag with a handful of shredded paper, until it stands up nicely and looks really full.
- Set it aside till later.
- Out of the remaining cardstock paper, cut out strips for his hairs and a triangle nose.
- Now we are ready to assemble! Take your hat cutout and staple it to the stuffed paper bag to close it up.
- To finish off the lunch sack craft – draw/glue on the facial features to the front of the stuffed paper bag to give it life.
