 * ===Scarecrow lesson for Pre-K and Kinder===

Select an appropriate picture book about scarecrows.

Before class:

Draw and color a simple scarecrow on a 9 x 12 sheet of paper. The scarecrow should have a black hat, brown boots, blue overalls, a red handkerchief, a yellow shirt, an orange jacket with green pockets, etc.

Draw the outline of a scarecrow on a large sheet of butcher or chart paper. Draw the clothing described above, but don't color.

Cut or tear construction paper squares (1" or 2" squares) in the following colors: red, green, yellow, brown, black, blue (all the colors of the scarecrow picture).

Read the picture book.

After reading, place the scarecrow outline either on a low table or on the floor. Adults will use gluesticks to place glue and students will select the colored construction paper to decorate the scarecrow's clothing. The students can take the completed scarecrow poster back to their class. ||> Scarecrow template ||
