Scarecrow Color Sort

10/10/2017

The free membership printable this week is Scarecrow Color Sort for color recognition and review. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated them.

I set the scarecrow cards and color squares out on the table. There are twelve scarecrow cards and six color squares for each card.

In this activity the children put the color squares on the scarecrow cards with the same color hats.

You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday October 15th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added four ... six ... and eight piece scarecrow puzzles.

giant scarecrow craft project for preschool and kindergarten

This is one of our favorite fall craft projects to make!! We do it over a span of two to three days but you can adjust it to fit the needs of your early learners. We use large sheets of construction paper (usually sold right next to the regular sized construction paper) but if you do not want to make giant scarecrows you can scale the project down to make smaller ones.

You can either have the pieces already cut out for younger children to put together or have guide pieces set out for the children to use as a reference for cutting their scarecrow pieces.

You will need to have a head ... hat ... pants ... shirt body ... sleeves ... straw ... eyes and a nose. You will also need to have various colors of tissue paper that has been cut or torn into squares.

Once all of the pieces have been cut out it is time to put them all together. You can put them together any way you wish but I found that we had the most success starting with the head and working our way down.

The hat gets glued at the very top of the head and the shirt body on top of the bottom of the head. You want to make sure to leave enough room to make a face on the head.

The sleeves the next to get glued on and they should be glued behind the shirt body. The sleeves can be angled in any direction.

The pants are glued under the bottom of the shirt. We used three inch long strips of yellow paper glued to the bottom of the hat ... arms ... and legs to represent straw.

We glued the eyes and nose on the scarecrow head and also drew a mouth with a marker. The last step was to glue the tissue paper squares on the scarecrow.

scarecrow alphabet sequence for preschool and kindergarten

scarecrow number sequence also added to the member's section

The free membership printable this week is scarecrow alphabet sequence which is a great activity for letter recognition and review. I printed the scarecrows on cardstock paper and cut them out.

I then glued the scarecrows on craft sticks and set them out in a clear plastic cup. You do not have to glue them on to craft sticks but I found they are easier for the children to sort through and pick up.

In this activity children put the scarecrows in alphabetical order. You can also do a matching activity by making two sets of the scarecrows. You can grab the patterns for free until Sunday October 25th ... after that they will only be available in the member's section which is where the scarecrow number sequence is also located.
