Paper Scrap Scarecrow Craft For Kids

Keep the kids entertained this season with a fun fall craft! Get creative and make a paper scrap scarecrow to add some extra spookiness to your autumn decorations. Tag us in your creations for a chance to be featured on our social media accounts!

Craft Supplies:

  • Scarecrow Hat Printable – on our landing page
  • Brown Cardstock Paper
  • Scissors
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Scrapbook Paper Scraps
  • Orange Cardstock Paper
  • Extra Large Googly Eyes
  • Glue Stick or Tape Runner Adhesive

Directions:

  • First things first – grab our free scarecrow hat printable, listed above in the supply list.
  • Go ahead and find it on your computer, right click and print it out on a single sheet of BROWN cardstock paper.
  • Now that you have the printable, go ahead and trim out the hat shape.
  • Save the remaining paper for the mouth of the scarecrow. Set aside for now.
  • Now you are ready to cut your paper scraps into long, thin strips for the scarecrow’s face. They don’t have to be perfect or all the same length {just like a real straw or hay!}
  • Start gluing the paper strips in a random design, in the center of your white cardstock paper. You want them to lay on top of each.
  • Add as many pieces of paper as you like to create your scarecrow head shape. You want it to be nice and “fluffy” though.
  • When ready, glue on his brown hat on top of the paper scrap design.
  • The last step is to cut out his nose/mouth out of the remaining cardstock paper and glue those on as well, with the two wiggle eyes.
  • Now add any other embellishments you see fit.
  • Then display your scarecrow paper piece proudly for all to admire!

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!
