DIY Scarecrow Decoration Using Plastic Plates
In the spirit of the autumn season, we present a delightful and engaging craft project for kids - the Scarecrow Paper Plate Craft. This activity allows children to unleash their creativity while making a unique and adorable scarecrow, perfect for adding to a fall bucket list.
Supplies Needed:
- Paper plate
- Coloured construction paper (brown, orange, yellow, green, or fall colours)
- Scissors
- Glue stick or white glue
- Markers or crayons (black, orange, brown)
- Straw or yellow yarn (for hair)
- Googly eyes (optional)
- Orange paper or felt (for nose)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare the paper plate base: Use the paper plate as the scarecrow’s face.
- Create the hair: Cut strips of yellow construction paper or use yellow yarn or pieces of straw to make hair. Glue these around the edges or on top of the paper plate.
- Make the hat: Cut out a hat shape from brown or black construction paper and glue it at the top of the paper plate.
- Add the eyes: Either glue on googly eyes or draw eyes with a black marker near the middle of the paper plate.
- Create the nose: Cut a small triangle from orange paper or felt and glue it below the eyes to make the scarecrow’s nose.
- Draw a mouth: Use a marker to draw a smiling mouth under the nose. You can add little stitch lines to make it look more like a scarecrow.
- Make the shirt collar: Cut a small piece of colored paper (such as green or red) with a rounded shape and glue it at the bottom of the paper plate to represent the shirt collar.
- Add any extra decoration: You can glue a few straw pieces on the sides for extra hair or draw patches on the shirt collar with markers.
