Scarecrows and Leaves

Hello and welcome.

Time for more Fall creating, where we celebrated by creating some adorable little scarecrows...so fun.

I love that my kiddos get so excited about creating so here is what we did this week.

Paper plate scarecrow made with piece of construction paper.  

We added our new song of the week on the back so that the parents could sing along at home:

Another fun scarecrow using some popsicle sticks that I hot glued together as the base.

The kids really liked to be working with all the shapes.

Made a huge scarecrow colouring sheet.

Of course we needed some cute crow puppets to go with our scarecrow theme.

I find that using an envelope instead of a paper bag as the base, makes it easier for little hands to use the puppet.  Just glued some black shapes on and done.

Some crow colouring too:

Here is a leaf mobile we made simply with folded paper.

Take a rectangle shaped paper and accordion fold it.  Next open it up finding the center fold.  Cut out the top edge into leaf shape then let kids decorate.  Re-fold to create the leaf shape and staple the bottom edge.

'L' for Leaf

The base is popsicle sticks glued onto construction paper.

That's it.

Next week it will all be about turkeys and Thanksgiving as we will be celebrating that next weekend.
