When the snow arrives, the scarecrow is covered from head to toe in it and the animals think he is a snowman. The animals come out to play on and around him. Yet he was afraid that they would fear him again when the snow melted.
Thank goodness they remember who their friend is on the inside when spring comes and his scary features reappear.
Here are our Lonely Scarecrow Activities for Kids:
My sister in law Marcia make the most wonderful haystacks and brings them to our family Thanksgiving celebration. Her version contains peanut butter and chow mein noodles. JDaniel avoids everything with peanut butter in it even though he has decided he likes peanuts. We made our haystacks with chocolate and butterscotch chips, marshmallows, and chow mein noodles to take to our family’s Thanksgiving celebration.
JDaniel thinks they are wonderful!
Measurement Activity with Scarecrow
JDaniel made this wonderful scarecrow in preschool a few weeks ago. We have had him hanging on our refrigerator. Recently we took him down and used inch cubes to measure him.
We measure the length of his smile
It was fun to use some of JDaniel’s school art to work on a math activity.
I love the wild bird study that was done on Like Mama~Like Daughter. Her handprint bird project is amazing.
This retelling tool for Jack in the Beanstalk from Fantastic Fun and Learning is truly amazing too.
Those haystacks look delicious! I hope you are having a great Thanksgiving weekend.
Your haystacks sure look tasty. SOunds like a sweet book!
Sounds like a great way to teach children not to shun others who might not look exactly like them!!
