scarecrows
By Donna

Clip to ScrapBook   
Sue, Every year when we have our scarecrow week, we make a scarecrow in my K class. I take a pair of overalls, a flannel shirt, a pair of boots and an old straw hat. Oh and loads of newspaper. I allow my students to crumple
up the newspaper and "stuff" the overall legs which I have pinned closed the bottoms. We also stuff the shirt. The shirts fits into the overalls. I attach a pair of gardening gloves. I fashion a head out of a small plastic bag which has been stuffed and pinned to the shirt. It tends to fall off. Then I put "him" in a lawn chair with arms, placing the boots at under his legs and adding
the hat. He sits in the hall outside my room and "welcomes" the guests and scares unknowing teachers. :-) Also check out this website:

Good luck
