Materials

  • Popsicle sticks
  • Glue dots
  • Scissors
  • Colored cardstock or construction paper
  • Markers
  • Paint
  • Paintbrush
  • Scarecrow template

Instructions

  • Download the scarecrow template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
  • Cut a popsicle stick into thirds with the scissors. Line up 5 popsicle sticks evenly. Stretch out three glue dots to go onto the back of each of the cut popsicle sticks. Use this to secure the 4 popsicle sticks together.
  • If you don't want to use glue dots, replace them with hot glue and do the same steps as above.
  • Paint a little less than 1/2 of the popsicle sticks in a cream or tan color. Paint the rest of the popsicle sticks red. Let dry completely before moving on.
  • Next, take the eyes and glue them in the middle of the cream portion of the popsicle sticks.
  • Draw a patch on the scarecrow's hat with a dark brown marker, then use a thin, black marker to draw stitch lines around the patch.
  • Glue a few pieces of the scarecrow's hair to the back of the hat.
  • Place the hat on the top of the cream portion of the popsicle sticks and glue it in place.
  • Use an orange marker to draw on a triangle nose in between and just below the eyes.
  • Next, use a black marker to draw on the mouth, just below the nose.
  • Position the overalls so that the top of them is in line with the red portion you painted on.
  • Finish off by coloring in the buttons and pocket on the scarecrow's overalls.
