Let's Build a Scarecrow!
First the body,
Then the head,
a big straw hat,
and a scarf of red.
buttons for eyes,
a carrot nose,
a mouth made of stitches,
In two smiling rows
I made my scarecrow out of pellon and colored him with color pencils. There's two pieces of velcro on the back of the buttons to hold them on the scarecrow. I may have to use some tape because they tend to slip and slide when I put them on. His carrot nose and mouth are made of felt. I'm thinking of doing a little freshening with some yarn and slick puff paint this year. I can't leave well enough alone! LOL!
My coworker introduced me to a cute little song, "Dingle Dangle Scarecrow" to use with this theme. Here's another youtube link for the song. I also talk about the fact that scarecrows are for scaring crows and not people. We talk about dressing up and pretending at Halloween.
We have a lot of Fun with Friends...and scarecrows...at Storytime.
He's adorable!
