Directions:

  • First things first – if you haven’t made your card yet, go ahead and do that. I made mine a basic square shape but yours can be any shape or size you like!
  • Go ahead and also cut out a piece of white cardstock, that will fit to the front of your card. This is where we will be making our stamped scarecrow design on.
  • Secure the white cardstock piece to the front of the card with a glue stick.
  • Now grab your potato and knife.
  • Cut your potato in half. You only need ONE potato half for your craft. This is your stamp for the scarecrow’s head.
  • Squirt some brown craft paint on your paper plate.
  • Rub your potato half in the brown paint, until it’s completely covered.
  • Next take the potato half and stamp it in the center of the white cardstock.
  • Lift up the potato half and set it on the paper plate.
  • Now squirt the remaining craft paint on the paper plate and grab a small paint brush.
  • Draw on some scarecrow facial features on the stamped design with the paint brush.
  • When done decorating it, set it aside the card to allow it to dry completely.
  • Now grab all your other remaining paper pieces and scissors.
  • Cut out a simple hat shape and a rectangle piece for the center, to give it some dimension.
  • When the stamped design from earlier is dry enough, go ahead and grab it, along with the glue stick.
  • Secure the paper pieces to the stamped design.
  • To finish off the potato stamped scarecrow card, use the Sharpie marker to write a clever message like “Happy Fall” to the front of the card, as well as anything else you like inside.
  • Add any other embellishments you see fit, before gifting away your stamped potato scarecrow card proudly!
  • Discard the used potato afterwards {please do not attempt to eat it afterwards.}
  • Don’t forget to share pictures with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts

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!
