Fall Craft Activity

We recently sent our Study participants in Cook County a list of fun fall craft activities for kids. Then, we thought, why don't we try to make one ourselves? In this video, our happy volunteers, Peter, Alice and Kristi, show us how to make a scarecrow:





These easy to follow instructions are courtesy of dltk-kids.com:

Materials:

•     toilet paper roll
•     printer,
•     something to color with,
•     scissors,
•     glue, and
•     paper

    

Instructions:

    Print out the template of choice: Color or Black & White

    Color pieces, as necessary.
    
    Cut out the pieces.  This step may require adult assistance.
    
    Glue the large rectangle onto the toilet paper roll.
    
    Glue on the head, arms, legs and body patch.
   
If you want to get a bit more creative, you can glue on some tufts of raffia or dried grass as straw. Or as Peter and Alice did, a string of yarn as a belt.

I hope you enjoy making this scarecrow with your kids! Visit our Facebook page for more pictures or post your own!
