Paper Plate Scarecrow Craft Kit (12 Pack)

Paper Plate Scarecrow Craft Kit turns a simple paper plate into a cheerful fall friend as kids layer on a floppy brown hat, golden straw hair, colorful leaves, a sunflower, and a big smiling face to create a scarecrow ready for autumn displays and Thanksgiving decorating.

Give Fall Craft Time a Friendly New Face

Scarecrows are a classic symbol of harvest season, and this project lets kids build one of their own from a paper plate and colorful foam pieces. Layer by layer, an ordinary round plate transforms into a smiling character filled with warm autumn colors and playful details.

Kids can add golden straw-style hair, rosy cheeks, a stitched smile, and a large brown scarecrow hat decorated with a sunflower and fall leaves. The combination of paper and foam gives the finished project plenty of color, texture, and dimension without making the assembly overly complicated.

Each completed scarecrow measures 9", making it large enough to stand out on classroom bulletin boards, doors, windows, walls, and seasonal displays. Kids can also bring their finished scarecrows home as cheerful decorations for fall and Thanksgiving.

With 12 crafts in the pack, this project works especially well for classrooms, after-school programs, recreation centers, fall festivals, and other group activities. Instead of gathering individual components for every child, activity leaders can start with the coordinated pieces needed to build the featured scarecrow design.
