The scarecrow is a sure symbol of fall. This is a fun scarecrow craft that is easy to do even for moms and children who might be a bit artistically challenged. If you would like lots of scarecrow ideas, don’t miss my Let’s Learn About Scarecrows post full of ideas.

So let’s see how this free scarecrow craft is made!

Scarecrow Craft Overview

Prepare copies of the pieces for your students to trace. Tagboard works best to make them sturdy.

Provide a variety of colored construction paper trimmed down to reasonable sizes. Allow the children to choose how to clothe their individual scarecrows.

The “hands” are cut from yellow construction paper. The ends can be randomly cut to add a “fringe” that looks like straw.

After mounting the scarecrow on a large piece of paper, the children can draw in their chosen landscape. We used a piece of easel paper from Caroline’s easel.
