scarecrow directed drawing

I received many emails asking how I did this directed drawing activity with my class. So this year when I did it with my kiddos I snapped some pictures. Here are the steps. Fold your paper into thirds.

hat and brim

 face, eyes, and stitching

 nose and mouth

 shirt and overall straps

 overall bottoms, buttons, and pockets

 outline in black crayon and color

 The finished product!

Have your kids brainstorm what they would like to have scared away (bad dreams, snakes, nightmares, roaches, homework, monsters). Then have them complete the writing prompt, I scare away . . .

Here are some more activites we did to go along with this book
