  • Cut out all the parts for the scarecrow while the paint dries. Cut out: 2 small red construction paper circles about 1-2 inches in diameter; 1 small black construction paper triangle about 1-2 inches on the base; 1 large "T" shape from the red construction paper; 1 large "H" shape from the blue construction paper; 15-20 1x1 inch squares of black construction paper; 20-30 randomly sized strips of yellow construction paper; 1 large circle, bigger than the paper bowl
    In the scarecrow paper bowl art project titled Prepare a Scarecrow Paper Bowl Art: Step Two, cut-outs of colorful paper shapes transform into a scarecrow. Various colored pieces are scattered on the wooden surface, ready to bring your artistic vision to life.
  • Put together the scarecrow's face first by pasting on the two small red circles for cheek blushes and the small black triangle for a nose; and draw-on a smile with our sharpie (or crayon).
