Paper Plate Scarecrow House Craft Idea

Get your creative energy flowing! Make a fun paper plate scarecrow house with your family today and get crafty together!

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First things first – cut off a small section of your large paper plate to make the bottom of the scarecrow house flat.
  • Discard the small sliver you just cut off.
  • Next up – paint the paper plate piece completely yellow {or any color you like!}
  • Set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Now print out the FREE hat roof template listed above. You only need to print one per scarecrow craft.
  • Use markers or crayons to color in the scarecrow hat however you like.
  • When done coloring it, use scissors to trim out the hat design.
  • Before you discard the remaining white cardstock paper {from the printable} pick one of the corners to cut out TWO small circle windows for the house.
  • At this point in time you should also cut out a simple door and chimney shape from the brown cardstock paper.
  • Once the painted paper plate is dry and you have everything cut out/colored in, it’s time to start assembling your scarecrow fairy house! Start by stapling on the hat shape to the paper plate piece {just like a roof.}
  • Follow that up by gluing/stapling the other embellishments in place as well.
  • Finally – the embellishments! Go ahead and add anything else {like pumpkin and scarecrow stickers} for that custom look, before displaying proudly!

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!
