Art supplies needed to use your free printable template to make a scarecrow
You don't need much to make your adorable scarecrow craft! Here are the simple supplies you'll need:
- Your free printable scarecrow template (look for the download link further down the post. There's a row of purple arrows pointing the way.)
- Printer access and paper or white card stock
- Child safe scissors
- Glue stick
- Crayons or colored pencils
- Popsicle sticks, optional
Your free template includes a "post" for the scarecrow, but you can glue it to a craft stick, instead, to make a cute puppet.
How to make your free printable scarecrow craft template
First, grab your PDF file from lower down in the post.
Print one copy of the craft page for each of your little learners.
Have your child trace and write "scarecrow" at the top of their scarecrow worksheet before cutting.
Color the scarecrow paper craft before cutting out the pieces.
Use child safe scissors to cut out each of the template pieces. It's okay if your child doesn't cut around every piece of the scarecrow's hair (or straw stuffing).
My daughter was so excited to make hers that she forget to let me get a picture before she started cutting!
Glue the scarecrow's hat on top of the head. Glue the head on top of the body and one arm on each side of the body. Glue the paper stick or a craft stick to the bottom of the body to make a stand for the scarecrow.
