Paper Bag Scarecrow Craft

PRINT THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS CRAFT -

Get creative this fall with a fun and easy paper bag scarecrow craft! With a few simple supplies, you’ll be ready to welcome autumn in style!

Paper Bag Scarecrow Craft

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
