Children love scarecrows and autumn is a good time to do crafts scarecrows with preschooler. With a paper plate and some other things you already have around your house, you and your child can create this art scarecrow at any time.

Supplies needed:

Paper plates
Google eyes
Brown Construction paper
Construction paper Orange
Raffia
Clean Pipe Network
Art feather
Scissors
Rubber cement
Glue gun (optional)

Note: Many of the above items can be replaced by something already may have. For example, you can use felt or craft foam instead of construction paper, or straw or shredded paper instead
raffia. Your child will also could draw the face with markers instead of hitting on her.

To begin, cut several pieces of raffia about 3-4 inches long. This that hair the scarecrow. Then raffia tail to each side edge of the plate, toward the top. The hat covers the top of the hair. I decided to use glue hot for this step and that stuck to my children. The hot glue works best to get there quickly glued raffia.

Then use scissors to cut a brown cardboard hat. You can make any hat in the shape of your child would like. If your child is old enough to cut a shape, get his hat on the role for him and let him self-sufficient already. Then ask your child to brush some rubber cement on the back of the hat and glue it on the scarecrow hair upper.

After having her hair and hat in place, have children brush their tails, where the eye goes and hits the look. Next cut a small triangle of orange construction paper and have your child glue the nose on the face of the scarecrow.

Next cut a tube cleaner red in the middle, shaped like half of her son in her mouth, and then have to stick it on the scarecrow. Last but not least, child has a place a little glue on the tip of a pen and make them slide in a corner of the scarecrow's hat.

That's it! Your child preschool is so proud of his scarecrow, which will not be able to wait to show everyone!
