Today’s post is courtesy of my son’s preschool class.

They actually did this fall themed craft a few days ago and when my son finally got to bring his finished piece home, I figured it was so cute I just HAD to share the idea on the blog with you all as well!

So whether to celebrate the beautiful autumn or just to pass some time on a gloomy day – I sure hope you are inspired to make this simple but yet adorable Paper Bag Scarecrow with your little one today!

Happy crafting my creative friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Bag Scarecrow Craft Supplies:

* Brown Paper Bag
* Shredded Paper
* School Glue
* Stapler
* Buttons
* Scissors
* Colored Cardstock
* Markers

Directions:

* First have your child stuff their paper bag with shredded paper until it stands nicely/looks full. Set aside.
* Out of the cardstock – draw/cut out a hat for the scarecrow.
* Take your hat cutout and staple it to the paper bag to close it up but leave some shredded paper hanging out to resemble some hair for the scarecrow.
* To finish off the Paper Bag Scarecrow – have children draw/glue one some facial features to the front of the paper bag to give it life. Then display proudly!
