This scarecrow craft is perfect for kids of all ages! All you need is a paper bowl, some craft paint and some glue, and you’re all set!
Craft Supplies:
- White Paper Bowl
- Light Brown Craft Paint
- Paint Brush
- Crayons, Markers or Coloring Pencils
- Hat Printable – on our landing page
- White Cardstock Paper
- Cardstock Paper {choice of color}
- Scissors
- Black Marker
- School Glue
- Small Rhinestones
- Small Googly Eyes
Directions:
- First things first – grab your craft paint, a paper bowl and the paint brush.
- Flip over the paper bowl so the inside of it is facing your work table and the bottom side is facing you.
- Now squirt some light brown craft paint in the center of the paper bowl and use the paint brush to paint it completely.
- When done painting, set it aside to let it dry completely.
- Next grab your printed scarecrow hat printable and your choice of coloring utensil.
- Color in the hat design however you like.
- When done coloring, cut it out and discard excess paper.
- Out of your remaining sheets of colored cardstock paper, go ahead and cut out a few strips of paper for the scarecrow’s hair.
- Now we are heading towards the last few steps! To finish off the painted scarecrow craft, simply start off by gluing on the hat cutout to the bowl.
- Follow that up by gluing on the strips of hair under his hat, wiggle eyes right below that and then of course the rhinestone nose in the center.
- Finally, use the black marker to draw on a stitched up mouth.
- And that’s it! At this point in time you can add other embellishments you see fit {like some fall stickers or glitter} before you display her proudly for ALL to see this autumn season!
