Funny Scarecrow! Kindergarten Craft 3

We made craft stick Scarecrow for the kindergarten craft session. The Scarecrow is perfect to hang on the door for the Fall season. I was inspired by the Scarecrow craft from Little Family fun blog, I made the craft with my twists and turns.

Book-The Lazy Scarecrow (Read-It! Readers)

It's a story of a scarecrow who doesn't do his job on time. But realizes it later and works hard. Impressive, bright-illustrated pictures delight the kids. Each page has less number of words and the simple words are easy to understand. More about the lazy scarecrow book on my other blog - kidobook(Books I read to my kid)

Glue the Wiggly eyes, Pom Pom/Triangle construction paper Nose and draw a mouth with the marker

When we did the craft in school we used pom poms for the nose and one of the girls said she thought he is a clown. The kids were discussing whether he is a clown or Scarecrow. They where talking about differences, they were saying a clown has a funny hat and rosy cheeks. So the kids concluded he is a Funny Scarecrow with a clown nose:-)
