I hope everyone, else has been enjoying the start, of this new Fall Season. We defiantly have! Even though it is still pretty warm, where we are, the temperatures have dropped some and there is a nice breeze outside.
This week, we have been having tons of Fun, with our Schooling. I have started a Fall Unit Study, Fall themed Spelling words, and incorporated of course plenty of learning games like sentence match, memory match, etc.
In my opinion, the best part about this time of year, is all the Fun crafts we get to do. I think, I enjoy doing them, more then my kids do. Lol! So, what was one of the crafts we have done this week?
Scarecrow plate face
What you need:
1. White paper plates
2. Construction paper:
3. Bow ( or you can make one out of paper )
4. Crayons, colored paper, markers
5. Tape or glue
Directions:
1.Prepare by cutting these shapes out of the construction paper ( if you do not have colored paper, you can color plain white paper the color needed:
yellow- Cut it into several strips to look like straw & cut into a sunflower shape.
brown- Cut into a triangle and rectangle. Shape the triangle by cutting the very tip off. Shape the rectangle by rounding and cutting slits on the top and curving the bottom. Draw " # " on both piece.
orange- cut a small triangle for the nose.
dark brown- cut a round circle to fit inside the sunflower shape.
