Craft Supplies:

  • Scarecrow Hat Printable

Directions:

  • First things first – decorate your paper plate to look like a pumpkin. Start off by covering it with ORANGE craft paint and then adding a few lines of brown to give the “pumpkin” some dimension.
  • When done decorating the paper plate, set it aside to let it dry completely.
  • Next up – the paper elements that will bring the pumpkin scarecrow to life. Go ahead and grab ALL your paper pieces, drawing tools & the scissors.
  • For an added “pumpkin” element in this craft, go ahead and color in the decorative hat band, in the design, “green” for the stem of the pumpkin.
  • Now cut out the scarecrow hat design from the printed printable.
  • Discard excess paper.
  • Next, out of the white cardstock paper, trace your child’s hand TWICE for the beard. Trim those out and discard excess paper.
  • Finally, out of the brown cardstock paper, cut out a large oval nose.
  • Now we are heading to the final steps! Once the decorated paper plate is completely dry, go ahead and staple the handprint cutouts to it.
  • Follow that up with the nose and hat piece on top.
  • Go ahead and add any other embellishments you see fit and display your gnome paper plate scarecrow pumpkin proudly for all to see!

If you like – your child can add other personalized embellishments like stickers, sequins, buttons etc. Really have them make it into their own craft!
