All About Scarecrows
A scarecrow is made from simple stuff: a wooden cross for the frame, old clothes and straw for stuffing. It’s meant to look like a person so birds stay away from freshly planted seeds or ripe fruit. People have built scarecrows for a very long time in lots of countries around the world. Ribbons or cloth that flap in the wind make them even more effective. Today, many scarecrows also stand in yards as cheerful fall decorations.
What to Do with Your Finished Scarecrow
Glue little fabric scraps onto the shirt and overalls as colorful patches for a fun collage. Or build a real mini scarecrow together using sticks, old clothes and straw.
