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!

Paper Bag Scarecrow Craft

Craft a scarecrow using a paper bag, paint, and your creative imagination.

Craft Supplies:

  • Large, Brown Paper Bag
  • Shredded Paper
  • School Glue
  • Stapler
  • Large Wiggle Eyes
  • Craft Scissors
  • Colored Cardstock

Directions:

  • 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.

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
