Create a festive Thanksgiving decoration with this easy scarecrow craft or as part of a preschool Thanksgiving theme.

In previous years we did do a body simply using a variety of construction paper. The class got to choose the colors. I cut out shapes for them to glue on the pants and the shirt to look like patches. This thanksgiving craft was a big hit. In fact, we make a new paperplate scarecrow every year to scare away our black birds that get into our indian corn garden.

I'm a little scarecrow
Stuffed with hay,
Standing watch in my field all day.
When I see a crow
I like to shout:
"Hey, Mr. Crow, you'd better get out!"
