3rd Grade- 3D Scarecrows

This was a two day project.

Day 1

We first painted the background, this only took about 5 minutes 

We then decorated a brown paper bag for the scarecrow head. We decorated the side without the bottom flap and made sure the opening was on the bottom. We Kent's the heads flat for easy storage. Here is how the heads looked after day one.

Day 2

We stuffed the head with newspaper. 2 sheets of newspaper was plenty. We then tied it shut with a pipe cleaner. 

Next, we glued the bag to our background. Students then added shirts, bandanas, and other details if they had time.

Here is a side view. They do pop out quite a bit.

Student examples. They turned out great!
