“Tip” to make a scarecrow
Make sure everyone in the family or your group shares their ideas in crafting the straw creature. Just like the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz… each team member does have a “brain” & will have something “fun” to contribute using sticks from an old tree for arms, a wig for hair, a Halloween mask for his face, grandpa’s old hat for his crown! Look through your closets or re-sale shops for old tattered clothes, gloves, and hats that will fit your vision, old pillowcases, and pumpkins, (plastic or real) work great for the head. Have Fun!
We are closed for the 2014 Season
