Fall crafts are seriously the best—cozy vibes, cute characters, and plenty of glue sticks. If you’re looking for an easy activity that keeps little hands happy (and buys you a few quiet sips of coffee), this Create Your Own Scarecrow printable is exactly what you need!
Why This Scarecrow Craft Is a Fall Favorite
This printable is simple, mess-free (well, mostly!), and super kid-friendly. It’s perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and even early elementary kids who love creating their own characters. Whether you’re homeschooling or just trying to make a slow afternoon a little more festive, this one’s an easy win.
You’ll love how quick it is to prep—just print and go! And the kids will love being able to mix and match the scarecrow’s outfit, face, and accessories.
What You’ll Need
You probably have everything already, which is a huge plus! Here’s what you need to make your scarecrow come to life:
Printable scarecrow craft sheet (grab it below!)
Scissors (kid-safe ones if you’ve got tiny hands helping)
Glue stick
Crayons or markers (optional, but fun if they want to color in extra details)
Cardstock (optional, but helps make it sturdier)
How to Make Your Own Scarecrow
This craft is about as easy as it gets—just the way we like it!
Print out the scarecrow sheet.
Cut out each piece carefully (or let the kids try with some help!).
Arrange the pieces and glue them onto a blank sheet of paper.
Let them decorate with crayons, stickers, googly eyes—whatever makes it their own!
They can give their scarecrow a silly face, a sideways hat, or even double the buttons. There’s no wrong way to do it!
Fun Ways to Use This Craft
This printable isn’t just for one-and-done fun—you can stretch it out in a few creative ways:
Decorate the fridge or playroom for a little seasonal charm.
Add it to your fall-themed bulletin board if you’re homeschooling or teaching.
Make a scarecrow family! Print out a few and let each child design their own.
Laminate and reuse for a Velcro dress-up style game if you’re feeling crafty.
Must have craft supplies
These are the must-have craft supplies every family needs—seriously! Grab some crayons, markers, colored pencils, glue (liquid or sticks, whichever you’ve like), kid-friendly scissors, construction paper or cardstock, and don’t forget a hole punch and yarn for turning those printable activities into sweet little booklets. Tape is your best friend, too, especially if you’re hanging up printable posters or just tidying up craft projects. And hey, plastic sleeves with dry-erase markers are a total game changer if you want to reuse those activity sheets. I keep all this stuff in one handy bin because, let’s be real, it saves me every time my kids get the crafting bug!
